"When People Can Enjoy Swimming...": Delhi BJP MP's Chhath Puja Pitch

Manoj Tiwari said he will take out a ''Rath Yatra'' to interact with Purvanchalis and gather their opinion on holding Chhat Puja at public places

The struggle for permission to hold Chhath Puja at public places will be intensified by taking out a ''Rath Yatra'' from October 9 in Purvanchali-dominated pockets of the national capital, Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said today.

The ''Rath Yatra'' will be taken out to interact with Purvanchalis and gather their opinion on holding Chhat Puja at public places, the BJP MP said.

The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) in its order last week had prohibited Chhath Puja celebrations at public places, including riverbank and temples, in view of COVID-19 situation.
