New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is facing a big embarrassment following revelations that the Sunday evening Clean Up India event was a farce.

The Clean Up India campaign was organised near the India Islamic Center in New Delhi where the organisers actually dumped a lot of garbage on a clean road which was later cleaned up once again by Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay and former AAP leader Shazia Ilmi.

Reacting to the event, BJP Delhi chief Satish Upadhay said that he didn’t know about it and it was the organizer’s mistake.

Shazia Ilmi distanced herself from the whole episode. “I was only invited to the event, I don’t know anything about it,” said the former AAP leader.

Meanwhile, the Congress termed the event a big fraud. “This is a photo session, nothing more than that. They misguided people of Delhi on issue of water, electricity and now they are also using Clean India Campaign,” said Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely.
