NEW DELHI: A political tussle over the spectacular failure in implementing a ban on fireworks that sprayed lungfuls of ultrafine PM2.5 pollutants into the city air broke out on Monday after some leaders of the Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appeared to back the flouting of the Supreme Court's orders that effected the worst slump in air quality on Diwali day.

Two top leaders of the city BJP unit also put out celebratory remarks lauding the very actions that ensured Delhi woke up draped in a pall of smoke and haze on Monday morning.
