AAP today trashed as "false projection" the claim made by Narendra Modi that the Sabarmati river was much cleaner than the Ganga, saying the river in Gujarat is even "more polluted".
"Narendra Modi is making false projections. Sabarmati river is even more polluted than the river Ganga," AAP leader Sanjay Singh said today.
Ahead of filing his nomination papers from Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, Modi had said, "I had got the opportunity to serve Sabarmati river and if I get a chance, I would like to do the same for Mother Ganga."
The AAP leader also alleged that "BJP may incite communal violence in the constituency before elections on May 12."
Sanjay said, "as the polling date of May 12 is nearing, there are chances of untoward incidents taking place in Varanasi.
