Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that a comprehensive plan has been developed to purify the Yamuna to Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, where the river meets the Ganga. The plan is part of development projects unveiled by Shah in Delhi worth Rs 1,816 crore, of which 80 per cent are aimed at rejuvenating and cleaning the river.
"Today's programme has a different significance. PM Modi had said that cleaning the Yamuna will be the topmost priority and will be completed before the next Lok Sabha polls. Even the AAP-da Government had also talked about rejuvenating the river. They had said that they would take a dip in the river," Shah said.
In 2020, Kejriwal had promised that before the next elections, they would ensure that the Yamuna became so clean that people would be able to take a dip in it. He had said he would join people in taking a dip.
