‘Disgusting and Shameful’: Aaditya Thackeray slams Delhi LG over Yamuna cleaning project
New Delhi: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has criticized Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena over the recently launched Yamuna clean-up drive, accusing him of delaying action for political reasons. The project, which Saxena claims will clean the polluted river within three years, was announced soon after the BJP's electoral victory.
Thackeray took to social media platform X to express his discontent, calling it “disgusting and shameful politics.” He questioned why the clean-up was not initiated earlier when another party was in power and accused Saxena of allowing Delhi’s people to suffer for political gains.
"Such disgusting and shameful politics by a person holding a constitutional post. He could have started the clean-up when another party was in government too. But he chose to let the people suffer. For his politics. What a shame to hold India back for selfish reasons," Thackeray wrote on his X handle.
While the BJP and the Lieutenant Governor claim the initiative is a long-overdue step towards restoring the Yamuna, opposition voices, including Thackeray’s, continue to highlight the delayed response, accusing the administration of exploiting governance for electoral gains.

Four booked for tying 18-year-old to tree, beating him up in UP's Pratapgarh
Pratapgarh (UP) (PTI): Four people were booked here for the abduction and assault of a man who they allegedly tied to a tree and beat up, police said on Wednesday.
The incident, a video of which has gone viral, took place on Tuesday afternoon under the Kunda police station limits.
The FIR was registered on Wednesday evening based on a complaint from the victim's father.
According to Keshav Prasad Yadav, a resident of Mauli village, some people called his 18-year-old son Nikhil Yadav on the phone and asked him to come out of his house around 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
As he reached outside the village as instructed, the accused allegedly forced him into a car and took him towards the Tinpedwa forest area, where they tied him to a tree and assaulted, the complainant said.
The attackers also recorded a video of the incident and circulated it on social media. The purported video shows the men thrashing Nikhil one after another, while one of them is assumed to have recorded the act.
Kunda Station House Officer Manoj Pandey confirmed the incident and said efforts are underway to identify and arrest all the accused.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has shared the video on social media, describing the incident as reflective of a "dominant mindset" against the PDA (Pichda or Backward, Dalit, and Alpasankhyak or Minority), and demanded strict action against the accused.
