NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has voiced strong criticism against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding its handling of Chhath Puja preparations and its treatment of the Purvanchali community.

Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh accused BJP leaders of disrespecting the cultural significance of Chhath while highlighting the support provided by the Delhi government under Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Sanjay Singh stated, "While Arvind Kejriwal supports Purvanchal by providing the best possible facilities for Chhath Puja, BJP leaders insult people from Bihar and UP." He pointed to a recent incident involving BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri, who reportedly verbally abused and assaulted a Purvanchali member of his own party.

Singh emphasized, "BJP leaders abuse people from UP and Bihar and insult those from Purvanchal."

The AAP leader criticised the BJP for its handling of Chhath Ghats in Delhi, claiming, "The BJP is against Chhath; its councilors demolished a Chhath Ghat in Greater Kailash."
