PM Modi vows to make ‘Yamuna the identity of Delhi’ in victory speech – All you need to know

Live Mint  

Delhi Election Result 2025: Following the BJP's victory in the Delhi Assembly elections on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi invoked "Yamuna Maiya Ki Jai" while addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters. "I have taken a pledge during the election campaign that we will make Yamuna the pride and identity of Delhi," Modi said, vowing to revive the river and raking up the Yamuna ‘poisoned’ controversy that broke out between the AAP and BJP in the run-up to the elections. PM Modi thanked the people of Delhi for the BJP's win, declaring that the city had been freed from "AAP-da," a play on words referencing the Aam Aadmi Party. Just weeks before the election, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal had alleged that the BJP in Haryana was mixing poison into the Yamuna River water being sent to Delhi, a claim PM Modi strongly refuted.
