00:00And the other big claim that the Delhi Chief Minister has made that's the other big story breaking at this hour
00:06This is the agenda setting interview blockbuster. She's spoken about clean river clean Yamuna in three years
00:14Giving herself that task giving herself that challenge
00:16She said the next conclave can be held on board a ship
00:21In the Yamuna is what she said on board a boat in the Yamuna is what she said
00:26That's what the Delhi Chief Minister said when asked a question about a deadline to clean the river Yamuna
00:34No deadline for pollution, but a deadline to clean the Yamuna
00:37She said this conclave can be held on board a boat the next time around we are going to be doing it in three years
00:44from now
00:46On the river is what she said. That's how clean the river Yamuna will be in the next three years
00:52Saying that the work has already started that was the Delhi Chief Minister when asked a question on what how much time does she give herself
01:00Clean the river Yamuna. She said three years the next India Today conclave will be happening three years later on
01:08The river is what she said
01:11That's the challenge that she has in fact given
01:14To herself she's spoken about it when asked a question on the task to clean the river up. Let's take a listen to what she said
01:22The pollution is very high
01:24You have to wear a mask here. There are a lot of people. It's difficult to breathe. You have to leave a lot of things in the mountains, in Goa, here and there
01:31Because now you don't even have an excuse
01:34The fact is that the government in Haryana is yours, the government in UP is yours, the government in Rajasthan is yours, so the government in the surrounding states of Delhi is yours
01:41When will the pollution be reduced?
01:43It's not yours, it's the BJP's
01:47It's not yours, it's the BJP's
01:50It's not yours, it's the BJP's
01:53And
01:55Poor guy has gone to do Vipassana
01:58Now even if someone speaks in front of me, I say leave it to yourself, move ahead
02:03I'm right
02:04And this is our vision, this is our plan to work
02:11That pollution is a very big problem for Delhi
02:15And the work that we have thought about it, we have done it in a very time-bound way, taking the advice of experts
02:23What have you thought and what is time-bound?
02:25Absolutely, absolutely
02:26I feel that for pollution, we have to work in every direction, whether it is air pollution, water pollution, for everyone
02:34On one hand, we have started cleaning Yamuna
02:38We have started garbage cleaning from there, we have started cleaning the drains that fall in Yamuna
02:45And on the other hand, for air pollution, we are going to decide the path from E-vehicle to Parali
02:57Today, the problems that our neighbouring states are facing, or the problems in Delhi
03:04By solving all these, pollution should get a solution
03:09In this winter, you don't have to leave Delhi
03:13This work will be done in a very deep way
03:18You don't have to go in this winter
03:20What will you do from now till December?
03:23No, from now till December
03:25Take the guidelines that are right, we are ready to give you another year for pollution
03:29It shouldn't happen that in pressure...
03:31You check our AQI
03:37And you will be able to see how Delhi's pollution is reducing
03:42And for that, whatever efforts our government has to make, our system has to make, we will do it
03:48Tell me specifically, how will pollution reduce from now till December?
03:51You want to time-bound it
03:53You want me to make promises like Mr. Kejriwal
03:56And then you show on the screen that Mr. Rekha said this
03:59I am not going to do that
04:01Don't trap me
04:03If I ask for an extra time of 5 years, you won't get it
04:08But the work will be done genuinely
04:10You will say that I don't want to apologize like Mr. Kejriwal
04:14That I couldn't do it
04:16I have to work, and let me work
04:18And to work, you sit on this chair of the conclave
04:23And take deadlines from the Chief Minister
04:25I don't think you need to do that
04:28You will see progress in Delhi
04:31That's all I can promise
04:33See, the reality is that if there is progress
04:36It's not in your interest, it's in everyone's interest
04:39Everyone wants progress
04:41Because they have to go on the same roads
04:44I went to LG that day
04:46They said that they will make Yamuna like Sabarmati or Thames
04:52100%
04:53That you can take boats there, canoeing, kayaking
04:56Absolutely
04:57Don't show us such dreams that we get old
04:59And there is still garbage lying there
05:01You don't need to get old for that
05:03You will be able to see it in 3 years
05:05That you will go on a cruise with us
05:07And do a live conclave on it
05:09In 3 years?
05:10Are you sure?
05:11No, no, they are clapping because they want to
05:14You can note it down, get it done
05:16Is there anyone here to note it down?
05:18Everyone is noting it down, don't worry
05:20Fix a date
05:21So much confidence?
05:22Fix a date
05:23See, there is less confidence on pollution
05:25And more on Yamuna, why is that?
05:27Listen to me
05:28We have started working on Yamuna
05:32The work on pollution
05:35Is to fix the transport system in Delhi
05:39To do the things that are important for Delhi
05:42But pollution is such a thing
05:44That comes from all your surroundings in Delhi
05:46The multiple agencies involved in that
05:49We will have to work on all of them
05:51And without homework
05:53I don't want to say a lot of things
05:55I think
05:56When I am in a position to give a solid answer
05:59And I am able to do that work
06:01I should say it then
06:02That's a good thing
06:03Say less
06:04That's better
06:05Don't take the deadline like that
06:07I appreciate that
06:08But you are saying that after 3 years
06:10We will go to Yamuna, for sure
06:11That we can do a Panchayat style program
06:13100%
06:14Sure?
06:15Absolutely
06:16That's good
06:17Please clap your hands
06:18In the hope that it happens
06:19I don't know if it will happen or not
06:20But in the hope that it happens
06:22After 3 years
06:23That's a big thing
06:24You have confidence in this
06:26It won't happen that you will apologize later
06:28Like Kejriwal
06:29That's why I don't want to do that work
