'You have failed Delhi…': Opposition corner AAP over deteriorating air quality

India Today  

As the Air Quality Index has descended to the hazardous category in many areas of the national capital region, the opposition parties have started cornering the Aam Aadmi Party over the issue. A spokesperson for the Delhi Congress blamed the AAP government for the poor air quality and said, “When AAP was in Delhi, it blamed the then Congress government of Punjab for stubble burning that is leading to pollution in Delhi. They have failed Delhi each pollution season.” The Bhartiya Janata Party's city unit also slammed the AAP government over pollution. Delhi's air quality turned ‘very poor’ on Sunday for the first time since May, mainly due to a drop in temperature and wind speed, which allowed pollutants to accumulate.
