Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva remarked that due to the negligence of Kejriwal's administration, which is entangled in power struggles and corruption, Delhi is grappling with severe pollution. While toxic particles contaminate the air, the waters of the Yamuna have also become dangerously polluted.

Sachdeva highlighted that Delhi residents still recall Kejriwal's 2020 campaign promise, where he repeatedly mentioned taking a dip in the Yamuna with his cabinet before the 2025 elections. He criticized Kejriwal for abandoning this promise, stating that the river's water has become so polluted that merely touching it is now hazardous, potentially causing skin diseases. He attributed this neglect to Kejriwal's involvement in corruption.
