AAP and BJP spar publicly after dead fish are found in the Yamuna, with both sides using the incident to criticise each other ahead of the Chhath Puja period. Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma, representing the BJP, alleges that the fish were deliberately dumped to discredit the government, while AAP responds by mocking the accusation.
The Hindu notes that the Delhi government had inaugurated a cruise on the Yamuna at Sonia Vihar earlier in the week. In that context, AAP says the dead fish are evidence of ongoing pollution in the river. NDTV similarly highlights the political exchange, focusing on the claim of deliberate dumping and AAP’s rebuttal. The differing angles revolve around whether the incident reflects pollution conditions or is being framed as a political manoeuvre.
