By : Vidya
Yamuna ki jai' - Prime Minister Narendra Modi began, and ended, his victory address to party workers in the Delhi polls with an invocation to Yamuna, the river whose cleanliness has been a hot-button poll issue for all the parties.
Parvesh Verma, the BJP candidate who emerged as a giant slayer by beating Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi constituency, has promised to clean the Yamuna river if his party is voted to power.
The BJP, ending its nearly three-decade wait in the national capital, emerged as the largest party in the polls, winning 48 seats. The Aam Aadmi Party is down at 22, from the 62 it won in the 2020 polls.
"The existence of Delhi itself has flourished in the lap of Mother Yamuna. The people of Delhi have been crying after seeing the condition of Yamuna as the AAP-DA in Delhi has insulted this faith. For their own failure, such a big accusation has been made on the people of Haryana," said the Prime Minister, alluding to the sensational charge against Haryana made by Mr Kejriwal.
