Huge crowd at railway stations due to Chhath Puja
New Delhi: There is an uproar in Delhi regarding Chhath Puja. AAP has called BJP anti-Purvanchal. There is an uproar over permission for Chhath Puja in Satpula Park. Minister Saurabh says that BJP is anti-Dalit, anti-Purvanchal. Whereas BJP says that AAP is not allowing Chhath Ghat to be built by committing hooliganism.
What is the whole matter?
This time also politics has started in Delhi regarding Chhath Puja. Aam Aadmi Party and BJP are face to face. They are accusing each other of disturbing the worship. Every year there is politics regarding cleaning of Yamuna or construction of Chhath Ghat, but this time the fight is over the artificial Chhath Ghat being built on DDA land in Sheikh Sarai area of Delhi.
Aam Aadmi Party alleges that DDA is stopping Purvanchal brothers from worshiping at Chhath Ghat, while BJP says that why is AAP not allowing Chhath Ghat to be built at Satpula Ground, Chirag Delhi by committing hooliganism?
Dirt spread in Yamuna
Delhi government has no answer regarding the filth spread in Yamuna. Amidst this poisonous foam, preparations for Chhath Puja have started. Devotees are forced to take bath in this poisonous water. The government has turned a blind eye here but Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj is claiming to raise the voice of Purvanchalis in Sheikh Sarai area.
Chirag: Regarding Delhi’s Satpula Park, it is being claimed that Chhath Puja is not being allowed here. On one side, excavation is going on to build Chhath Ghat on the land, while on the other side, Aam Aadmi Party workers are protesting sitting at its gate. The work of artificial ghat has started and politics is also gaining momentum.
What is the controversy?
In fact, at the place where this artificial Chhath Ghat is being built, Aam Aadmi Party supporters have been building the ghat. It is alleged that this time the way to Chhath Ghat has been locked and they are not being allowed to go inside. That is why Delhi government ministers are joining the protest.
When Delhi government minister Saurabh Bhardwaj cornered BJP on this issue, BJP also hit back and said that Saurabh Bhardwaj and his supporters are stopping the construction of Chhath Ghat. Delhi BJP posted on social media alleging that on the great festival of faith, Chhath, Saurabh Bhardwaj is blocking Chhath Ghat with his goons. When the committee has already taken proper booking and permission from DDA to perform Chhath Puja, then why is AAP committing hooliganism and not allowing Chhath Ghat to be built at Satpula Ground, Chirag Delhi? Why is JCB stopping machines from building Chhath Ghat? Kejriwal, who is out of jail on bail, keeps teasing the people of UP-Bihar as to why they come to Delhi and now this is another bad act? After all, why does AAP hate Purvanchal society so much?
When is Chhath?
Preparations for Chhath Mahaparva are in full swing across the country. Chhath Puja will start from 5th November and the first Arghya will be offered to Sun God on 7th November. Purvanchali vote plays a very important role in Delhi, that is why every party wants to be their supporter. Anyway, Delhi is standing on the verge of elections. This is the reason why digging is being done inside to build Chhath Ghat but outside the ministers are alleging that they are being stopped from performing Chhath Puja.
