The BJP hit back, terming the AAP’s allegations “a shameful model of political frustration’. Addressing a press conference here, AAP Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj said the BJP is “fooling” the devotees and playing with the lives of Purvanchalis. “In a desperate bid to seize power in Bihar, the BJP is playing with the lives of lakhs of Purvanchalis in Delhi. A fake Yamuna ghat filled with filtered water has been built at Vasudev Ghat for PM Modi while devotees have to stand in the polluted river” he said.

He claimed the water for the ghat has been taken from the Wazirabad water treatment plant pipeline, which supplies Delhi’s drinking water.
