AAP, BJP clash over setting up of Chhath ghat in South Delhi
Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 03 November 2024
NEW DELHI: The ruling AAP and the Opposition BJP clashed on Saturday over setting up a Chhath ghat in south Delhi for the popular Purvanchali festival, with Chief Minister Atishi joining the row and slamming the saffron party.

In a post in X, Atishi alleged that at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), a central government agency, is not allowing the Chhath ghat to be set up, saying "such petty politics" would not be allowed. The issue pertains to the setting up of a Chhath ghat at a DDA park in Satpula Ground in Chirag Delhi.

Urban Development minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, who is also the local Greater Kailash MLA of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), went to the spot and alleged that the BJP-controlled DDA is stopping Purvanchali people from setting up the ghat.
