UP Minister Priyanka Rawat Tosses Bottle into Sarayu River While Inspecting Cleanliness

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Priyanka Rawat and Uttar Pradesh Water Minister Dharapal Singh caught everybody's attention on Saturday when Priyanka tossed a mineral water bottle into the Sarayu River. Ironically, the two BJP leaders were on the banks of the river to inspect cleanliness.

The minister, later, delivered a speech on how to keep our rivers clean. When questioned over the act, Singh denied saying "such an event never occurred".

The two leaders climbed onto a boat and Priyanka, while talking to somebody from a group of people standing behind her, threw the bottle into the river.

Two years ago in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched Swacchh Bharat Abhiyan, a movement to ensure clean streets, roads and infrastructure of the country's 4,041 statutory cities and towns.
