BJP Criticizes Kejriwal Government's Cracker Ban

The BJP has criticized the Delhi government for its ban on firecrackers to control air pollution, calling it an 'eyewash' that people do not accept. The Delhi government claims the ban is essential to mitigate winter pollution. BJP leaders encourage the use of green crackers instead.

In a sharp rebuttal, the BJP has lambasted the Kejriwal government's latest order banning firecrackers in an attempt to combat air pollution, labeling it as an 'eyewash' rejected by Delhi's populace.

Delhi's Environment Minister, Gopal Rai, insisted the ban is vital in controlling the seasonal spike in air pollution seen in the winter months.

BJP leaders argue for a more balanced approach, advocating for green crackers over a total ban and highlighting stubble burning and road conditions as major pollution contributors.
