As Yamuna pollution makes headlines ahead of Chhath Puja, AAP repeats its old blame game

Op India  

Blame is the weapon of the incompetent. A prime example of this is Delhi Education Minister Atishi’s statement blaming Uttar Pradesh for the alarming pollution in the Yamuna River. In the next two days, the toxic foam will completely vanish…But I would like to urge the Uttar Pradesh government to not send its polluted water to Delhi.” #WATCH | On cleaning of river Yamuna ahead of Chhath, Delhi Minister Atishi says, "To remove that, sprinkling of food-grade chemicals and enzymes is being done there. According to a Delhi Pollution Control Committee report released in May this year, out of the 35 operational STPs, 22 were not meeting the prescribed standards impacting the quality of Yamuna River’s water. With 60% of STPs in the national capital not in compliance with prescribed parameters, as well as the toxic foam appearing on the Yamuna river much like every year and the AAP ministers continuing the blame game, CM Arvind Kejriwal’s promise of a clean and pollution free Yamuna remains a distant dream.
