The LG also cautioned Arvind Kejriwal against "misleading and pre-mature publicity." The Lieutenant Governor's directives came in a reply to Kejriwal's tweet in which he said that Puja could be held anywhere on the Yamuna. The LG said the Chief Minister's statement was creating confusion among people. "The proposal to hold Chhath Puja approved by the LG was specific to designated Ghats - Kejriwal tweeted as if Puja could be held anywhere on the Yamuna, creating confusion amongst people," the LG's secretariat office said.
