Headed by cabinet minister Satpal Maharaj, the cultural ministry plans to dissolve the Sparsh Ganga Board that was formed by former BJP chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank. “My idea behind the Sparsh Ganga was to sensitise people about cleaning the Ganga. Nishank had launched the Sparsh Ganga when he was the chief minister in 2009. The Congress said it has nothing to do with the Ganga politics. Nishankji is a seasoned leader and he better knows the politics behind the decision (to dissolve the board),” Congress spokesperson MD Joshi asserted.
