New Delhi : Ahead of the Nahai Khai of the Chhath, Delhi BJP President Aadesh Gupta visited the oldest Yamuna Chhath Ghat of Delhi called the ITO Yamuna Ghat for assessment of the arrangement on Thursday. "This is the oldest Chhath Ghat of Delhi and there is no arrangement so far. It is the total accountability of the Delhi Government. Due to the Covid pandemic, there were no Chhath celebrations on the bank of the Yamuna river in the last two years and this year too, no arrangement has been made so far. So, due to mismanagement, no Chhath celebrations be made this year too, "said Aadesh Gupta during the inspection. He further accused the Aam Aadmi Party of lying and said that their leaders are experts at spreading propaganda.
