Instead, Rahul Gandhi claimed, Kejriwal had resorted to holding press conferences while displaying bottles of river water, calling it a "hollow gesture."

Rahul Gandhi highlighted the contrast between Kejriwal's past promises and the current state of the river, urging that the Yamuna be treated with respect, not merely as a water body but as a living entity. His remarks called for collective action to address the ongoing environmental concerns surrounding the river, which he accused the AAP government of neglecting.

In addition to criticizing Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi invited the public to be part of a campaign to restore the Yamuna, urging them to share their suggestions. His comments further emphasized the need for a united approach to protect the river and hold the government accountable for its promises.

This exchange of barbs between the Congress and AAP underscores the ongoing political tussle over environmental issues in Delhi, particularly the much-discussed cleanup of the Yamuna, a promise that continues to be a point of contention ahead of the upcoming elections.
