"Taking blessings from Maa Ganga, we will work to make Maa Yamuna clean and beautiful. - Rekha Gupta"

Rishikesh, June 1

Following 100 days of the completion of the BJP government in Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta took a holy dip in the River Ganga in Haridwar on Sunday and vowed to clean Yamuna so that people can take a holy dip in the river.

She met Swami Avdheshanand Giri Maharaj at Harihar Ashram in Haridwar on Sunday.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said, "It is a feeling of immense joy. Yesterday, the government completed 100 days of rule in Delhi. Yesterday we did Aarti in Yamuna river and today, after taking a dip in the Ganga, I really feel that the pace of development in Delhi will now pick up more speed. Today, after taking the blessings of Gurujan, I am feeling more powerful within myself. I have a sense of responsibility. Delhi, which has been suffering for many years, now the government, which has come, it is our responsibility to ensure Delhi progresses. I ask for the strength that whatever the aspirations of the people are, I am able to fulfil them."

She further said, "I prayed to God that the way lakhs of devotees come to Haridwar to worship River Ganga, in the same way, River Yamuna can be cleaned so that people can take a holy dip there."

CM Rekha Gupta, accompanied by her family, visited the Har Ki Pauri ghat in Haridwar and took a holy dip in the Ganga river on Sunday.

After taking a holy dip in the Ganga at Har Ki Pauri, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said, "Taking blessings from Maa Ganga, we will work to make Maa Yamuna clean and beautiful. We will work to speed up the development of Delhi. Taking the blessings of Maa, I feel very satisfied that as the Chief Minister of Delhi, I will be able to do better work for Delhi."

Meanwhile, in Delhi, CM Gupta performed Yamuna Aarti at Vasudev Ghat on Saturday to mark the completion of 100 days of the BJP government.

Addressing the gathering, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said, "The Delhi government and the city's residents have taken the decision to clean the River Yamuna. Social workers also will be part of this."

Taking a swipe at the previous AAP government, Rekha Gupta said, "The previous governments used to lie about Yamuna cleaning. They did not take a single step towards Yamuna cleaning..."

Rekha Gupta participated in the '100 Din Seva Ke' program earlier in the day.

Cleaning Yamuna is long overdue! Every government makes promises but we need concrete action. Hope this time it's different. The river is sacred to us and its current state is heartbreaking. 🙏

While the intentions seem good, I wish politicians wouldn't mix religion with governance so much. Cleaning Yamuna is an environmental necessity first, religious significance second. Let's focus on actual solutions.

Good to see focus on Yamuna cleaning! But instead of just prayers, we need strict action against industries dumping waste. My grandparents remember when Yamuna water was actually clean enough to drink. Can we get back to that?

The spiritual connection with our rivers is important, but let's not forget the scientific approach needed for cleaning. Hope the government invests in proper sewage treatment plants and waste management systems.

Why always blame previous governments? Every new CM says the same thing. Just show us results! If Yamuna becomes clean, the whole country will celebrate. Action speaks louder than words and prayers.

As a Delhi resident, I've seen many Yamuna cleaning promises fail. This time, involve local communities and educate people about not polluting. Cleaning is not just government's job - we citizens must do our part too! 🌱
