Jharkhand BJP President Babulal Marandi on Thursday targeted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on Chhath Puja, saying the latter has no love for Sanatana.
“Rahul Gandhi has nothing to say… For 15 years, there was a government of husband and wife in Bihar, and they did nothing for the development of Bihar. He has nothing to speak about what their government did for the betterment of Bihar… He has no love for Sanatana,” Marandi told the media.
Earlier in the day, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi alleged that there are “two Indias” — one which pretends that the Yamuna is clean by creating a separate pond for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the other where the pollution of the river is evident.

“There are two Indias. During Chhath Puja, PM Modi decided to take a bath in the Yamuna. On one side, there is the reality of India and Bihar, where the Yamuna is polluted, and on the other, PM Modi built a small pond of clean water. Clean water was brought through pipes so that PM Modi could bathe in it,” Gandhi said while addressing a rally in Bihar’s Nalanda.
On Wednesday, in Bihar’s Darbhanga, Rahul Gandhi also said that the Prime Minister has “nothing to do with Chhath Puja”, claiming he took a dip in his “swimming pool” rather than the River Yamuna in Delhi.
He said, “There’s no Yamuna there; there’s a pond there. Narendra Modi went to bathe in his swimming pool. He has nothing to do with the Yamuna. He has nothing to do with Chhath Puja.”
This came after the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi alleged that the BJP government created a “fake Yamuna” for PM Modi to take a dip during Chhath Puja.
“Rekha Gupta’s government created a fake Yamuna at Vasudev Ghat for making Reels and videos. Filtered water from the Ganga was poured into it, and it was claimed that the Yamuna had been cleaned,” AAP wrote on X on Tuesday.
