Hemaji has been an MP twice from Mathura (2014 and 2019) and is contesting from the constituency for a third time this year.
Targeting the Aam Aadmi Party dispensation in Delhi, she said the Yamuna river remains polluted as the Delhi government did not take interest in the central government’s Namami Gange scheme.

The Yamuna flows through Delhi (into Uttar Pradesh) and there, major drains empty into the river, Hemaji said.
“I will make every effort to persuade the Delhi government to make the Yamuna pollution free in Delhi,” Hemaji said.
