A social media debate erupted after volunteer Surendra Singh Choudhary, aka Bittu Tabahi, met Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav following his efforts to clean the polluted Ajnar River. YouTuber Dhruv Rathee accused the government of exploiting Choudhary’s viral fame for publicity, while Choudhary said the meeting emphasized civic responsibility, not credit. His work also drew international attention, including a job offer from The Ocean Cleanup founder.
