Calls it a Publicity Stunt
On Wednesday, After Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinai Kumar Saxena cautioned Aam Adami Party (AAP) Chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal against "misleading" and "pre-mature publicity" regarding Chhath Puja, AAP has hit back at him saying that the LG was lowering the dignity of the chair he occupies.
According to the statement given by the party, it said; We strongly object to the language used by LG for Hon'ble CM. He is lowering the dignity of the chair he occupies by publicly abusing CM every day. CM is an elected representative who has been elected for the third consecutive time with historic margins. LG has no business to publicly reprimand CM every day," the party said.
As per the information, The Delhi Government had said that it will organise Chhath Puja at 1100 ghats this year for which the government has approved a budget of Rs 25 crore to facilitate lakhs of devotees in offering their prayers on Chhath.
According to the state given to ANI ,Delhi Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot said, "Keeping in view the religious and spiritual beliefs and sentiments of lakhs of people from UP and Bihar living in Delhi, CM Kejriwal has approved my proposal to allow the celebration of Chatth Puja at different Ghats along the Yamuna River."
Adding more, He further said that the government is geared to provide facilities to the devotees at around 1,100 Ghats.
It is known that foam appearing in the Yamuna is a big problem in Delhi. It comes to the fore every year when pictures come out of people performing Chhath Puja standing amidst white foam.
