Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva was hospitalized following severe itching and breathing issues after a protest dip in the polluted Yamuna River, criticizing the AAP government’s unmet promise to clean the river by 2025. Sachdeva, seeking “forgiveness” for alleged corruption in river-cleaning funds, challenged CM Arvind Kejriwal to take a similar dip. Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai accused BJP-ruled states of polluting the river with untreated wastewater. With toxic froth covering the Yamuna, health risks rise as the Chhath Puja festival nears, during which devotees traditionally take a dip, raising concerns about public safety amid high pollution.
