BJP Accuses Delhi Government of Political Gimmicks Over Air Pollution

The BJP criticized the Delhi government for prioritizing political tactics over tangible actions to address the city’s air pollution. In response, the AAP highlighted improvements in air quality due to measures like promoting electric vehicles and utilizing cleaner energy in industrial sectors. Both parties have escalated their blame game amidst rising pollution concerns.

The BJP on Saturday lashed out at the Delhi government, accusing it of indulging in 'political gimmicks' instead of taking concrete measures to combat the city's air pollution crisis.

The AAP countered with a statement noting improvements in the capital's air quality, citing efforts to promote electric vehicles and switch industrial units to cleaner piped natural gas as key measures.

Amid the escalating blame game, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva called for an all-party meeting including representation from AAP-led Punjab to discuss winter pollution preparedness. He criticized the city's environment minister for evading responsibility through 'letter games.'
