Political Blame Game Over Delhi's Toxic Air

Rahul Gandhi raised concerns about Delhi's worsening air quality, blaming BJP for inaction. BJP countered, attributing the decline to Congress and AAP tenures. Delhi's Environment Minister accused Gandhi of defaming the government and citizens. Data showed fluctuating Air Quality Index under different governments, with recent improvements.

In a heated exchange, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the ruling BJP, alleging failure to improve Delhi's air quality. He highlighted the severe pollution affecting residents, demanding clean air over constant excuses.
