In a fierce criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari has accused the AAP government of failing to mitigate Delhi's deteriorating air quality over the past decade. Tiwari urged voters in the national capital to support the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections, suggesting the AAP administration reacts only when problems arise.

BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla further echoed Tiwari's sentiments, claiming that AAP's 'polluted politics' have turned Delhi into a 'poisonous gas chamber.' Poonawalla questioned AAP's actions regarding stubble burning in Punjab and criticized the party's handling of other pollution sources.

As air quality plummets, with an overall Air Quality Index (AQI) standing at 'Poor' and 'Very Poor,' the Delhi government has announced stringent measures under the Graded Response Action Plan-1 to improve air quality. However, BJP leaders continue to highlight what they perceive as AAP's ineffectiveness in addressing the crisis.
