New Delhi: Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa hit out at former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi after the latter alleged that the AQI had reached 500 on Thursday morning.
Sirsa doubled down on Atishi and said that the diseases the Aam Aadmi Party government gave in the last 10 years were being cured by the BJP.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, “I am very amazed that Atishi has been the CM and she is tweeting like this – yesterday, the weather department has told that there will be thunderstorms and duststorms – now, will we be blamed for such storms? But it’s good that Atishi has expectations from us. But, the ‘disease’ that ‘AAP-da’ has given us for the last 10 years, we will make all efforts and will clean the air of Delhi.”
He further said that the mountains of garbage have been reduced by 50 percent in the national capital.
“The air quality of Delhi will also improve. She should ask former CM Arvind Kejriwal why the disease has been left uncured for the last 10 years, and now we are curing these diseases,” he added.
Earlier in a post on X, former Delhi CM Atishi claimed that the AQI was at 500 on Thursday morning.
“Delhi’s AQI has never been so high in May. CPCB’s own data shows that from 2022-2024, AQI on May 15 never exceeded 243. Today AQI is at 500. Will BJP take responsibility for the worsening air pollution in Delhi? Where is Delhi’s Environment Minister @mssirsa?” Atishi shared on X.
As the Air Quality Index (AQI) Delhi climbed above 300 mark at several parts of Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal called out Bharaiya Janta Party saying that air pollution was never his bad during AAP regime at this time of year.
