BJP MP Rajeev Pratap Rudy also slammed the Congress MP and said that he would be very happy if Rahul Gandhi's name had been associated with Chhath Puja.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi alleged that there are "two Indias"; one which pretends that the Yamuna is clean by making a separate pond for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while on the other side, the pollution of the river had been evident.
"There are two Indias. During the Chhath Puja, PM Modi decided that he would 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 side, PM Modi built a small pond of clean water. Clean water was brought from pipes
"Rahul Gandhi engages in childish behaviour. He has no seriousness. Earlier people used to say this but I denied. But now I am convinced no one is as childish as Rahul Gandhi in current politics. Chhath is a festival of purity, spirituality...He is disrespecting even his ancestors by usin
Addressing a massive gathering, Amit Shah stated that Rahul Gandhi's remarks reflected a lack of understanding of the deep faith associated with the festival of Chhath, which holds immense spiritual significance for millions across the country.
"If you listen to Rahul Gandhi's speech, you can see his frustration... He has gone into depression, and when someone goes into depression, their language crosses limits," the Bihar BJP chief told ANI on Wednesday.
BJP National Spokesperson CR Kesavan on Thursday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of making a "blasphemous" remark on Chhath Puja by calling it a drama and thereby insulting the sentiments of every person in Bihar.

Rashid Alvi highlighted that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have repeatedly claimed to have cleaned the Yamuna in the national capital, but added that such claims could only be credible if BJP leaders themselves drank the river's water.
