Mamata Banerjee taunts Modi over Yamuna pollution

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has issued a sharp political challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his recent boat ride on the Ganga river in Kolkata. In a public statement, Banerjee sarcastically remarked on Modi's enjoyment of the ride and dared him to take a dip in the heavily polluted Yamuna river in Delhi. The comment is a direct jab at the central government's environmental record and highlights the ongoing political rivalry ahead of West Bengal's state elections. Banerjee's challenge frames the Ganga's condition in her state as superior to the Yamuna's in the capital, turning a symbolic event into a political attack.
