Delhi BJP President Shri Virendra Sachdeva said it is unfortunate that even after nearly a year, leaders like Aam Aadmi Party’s Saurabh Bhardwaj have not been able to accept their defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections. In frustration, they continue to indulge in baseless allegations and counter-allegations against the BJP government in Delhi. The Delhi BJP President said that during its ten-year tenure, the Arvind Kejriwal government not only failed to take steps to control pollution in Delhi, but also destroyed the greenery already present along roadsides and central verges, and left behind broken roads. When vehicles move over the potholes and damaged edges of these roads, they create storms of dust and grime.
December would have remained above 500
Virendra Sachdeva said that in the last 8–9 months, the BJP government in Delhi has reconstructed nearly 200 square kilometres of roads and filled about 50,000 potholes, resulting in a reduction in dust pollution. The Delhi BJP President said that the Kejriwal government crippled the public transport system in Delhi, especially the bus service, which led to an excessive increase in private vehicles on the roads and, consequently, a sharp rise in pollution from vehicular emissions. Virendra Sachdeva said that today the people of Delhi are realising that controlled pollution is the result of roads repaired by the new BJP government and the introduction of more than 1,000 electric buses. If the Kejriwal government were still in power, the AQI level throughout December would have remained above 500.
