Questioning about the work undertaken by the government to clean the Ganga, the former chief minister said, “Ganga cannot be cleaned without cleaning of Gomti, Varuna and Yamuna. The work of cleaning Varuna and Gomti rivers was started under the Samajwadi government, but the BJP has ruined all the effort,” SP president alleged.
Earlier, Akhilesh Yadav performed Jalabhishek at Sankat Mochan Temple and Kashi Vishwanath.
After worshipping at the Kashi Vishwanath Dham, he said, “I have prayed that the life of common people should be better. I want the original form of the religious place to be maintained. Good works on the infrastructure should continue”.
He revealed that the proposal for the construction of the corridor was discussed in the cabinet meeting of the Samajwadi government too and for this, the work of acquisition of houses had also started.
“BJP ruined the beauty, heritage and history of the place. There was a big old tree in the Vishwanath Dham premises, but I don’t know why it was uprooted,” he asked.
Earlier, the SP president participated in various programs in Ballia and Ghazipur districts yesterday. He interacted with several lakh people during the two-day programme.
