As Delhi’s air turns increasingly toxic, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has slammed the BJP’s four-engine government for its complete failure to control pollution. Senior AAP leaders including Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the capital is gasping for breath while BJP ministers remain busy with election campaigns in Bihar. Saurabh Bharadwaj said residents can no longer breathe safely in the city’s poisonous air, forcing concerned groups like the Warrior Moms to write to the Health Minister as pollution becomes life-threatening for children.
Bharadwaj took to ‘X’
AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj took to ‘X’ and wrote: “The Warrior Moms have written to the Health Minister about the alarming pollution levels. But during this health emergency, Delhi’s Health Minister has not been seen in the city for the past month, while other BJP ministers have been occupied with election campaigning in Bihar for several days.” Senior AAP leader and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia stated on X: “Delhi is facing a full-fledged public health emergency. The truth is, it’s not Delhi’s air but the BJP’s mindset that has become toxic.” Sanjeev Jha wrote on X: “The situation is Chief Whip and senior AAP leader Sanjeev Jha wrote on X: “The situation is worsening by the day. The government itself is more poisonous than the air. The BJP Chief Minister and her ministers are busy making reels instead of taking concrete steps to reduce pollution. They are manipulating AQI data by falsifying records from monitoring stations.” AAP’s Chief Spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar took to ‘X’ and wrote: “CM Rekha Gupta ji, now that you are done campaigning in Bihar, please pay some attention to Delhi too. Do you have any plan beyond blaming former CM Arvind Kejriwal?”
More poisonous than ever before
The AAP said Delhi’s air this year is more poisonous than ever before, and the BJP’s four engines have left no stone unturned in destroying the capital. “Pollution is at a record high, and instead of saving lives, the BJP government is busy manipulating AQI data. Where has this government gone hiding now? The visuals emerging from Delhi are terrifying. People are being forced to breathe this toxic air while the BJP government is occupied with fudging figures. It’s clear that this ‘dramebaaz government’ gave up before even trying,” the party said AAP further stated that even foreign visitors arriving in India know how bad Delhi’s air has become, but the Rekha Gupta government seems oblivious to the gravity of the situation. “What else explains the BJP’s inaction and its foolish manipulation of air quality data? To distract people from their failures, Rekha Gupta’s government staged a gimmick in the name of artificial rainfall, burning ₹34 crore of Delhi’s money. Despite such a huge expenditure on theatrics, not a single drop of rain fell, nor did pollution levels reduce,” the party said.
