BJP, Congress slam AAP govt over pollution

BJP asks city govt to take effective measures instead of 'playing game' on artificial rain

Amid rising pollution levels in the national capital, the BJP on Wednesday said the people of the city want the AAP Delhi government to take effective measures instead of playing the game of artificial rain. He said the AAP needs to convince the Punjab government to curb farm fires.

The Congress also came down on the city government with pollution levels reaching "severe plus" zone.

Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that if the AAP government puts as much effort into addressing real issues as it does in making statements and writing letters about artificial rain, the situation in Delhi—and perhaps all of North India—could have improved significantly.
