CM Yogi Adityanath Hits Back at Opposition
Speaking at AajTak’s Dharma Sansad event, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath slammed the opposition, particularly the Samajwadi Party, for allegedly spreading misinformation regarding the cleanliness of the Ganga.

Personal Experience of the Holy River
Sharing personal anecdotes, Adityanath said, “I have visited Prayagraj many times. I’ve bathed in the Ganga and sipped its water without ever falling ill. The misinformation spread about the river’s condition needs to stop.”
