Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that the centre has allotted 43 projects to Delhi and accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of breaking his promise to clean the Yamuna.
Delhi's ruling party was hit with a sharp rebuke on Thursday when Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the central government has approved 43 projects for the capital. Speaking at a press interaction in New Delhi, Shah highlighted the allocation as a tangible benefit for Delhi residents.
He said the projects, covering a range of sectors, will boost infrastructure and public services in the city. While the exact details of each scheme were not disclosed, Shah emphasized that the initiatives reflect the centre's commitment to Delhi's development.
Shah also targeted Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of reneging on a promise to address the Yamuna river's pollution. He described Kejriwal's earlier claim of a "Yamuna dive" as a false pledge, suggesting the opposition had failed to deliver on environmental commitments.
The remarks came amid ongoing political friction between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party, with opposition leaders yet to respond publicly to Shah's statements.
