Tussle between AAP and BJP begins with the order of September 30 DDMA which prohibits Chhath celebrations in public places this year because of Covid-19.
Delhi BJP leaders, including MP Northeast Manoj Tiwari, launched agitation of orders and claimed that the central school government was responsible for the ban.
