Former Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu calls for consensus formula to tackle air pollution in Delhi; says there should be no politicking

The Hindu  

“The Centre, Delhi government and neighbouring States should evolve a consensus formula to tackle the problem of air pollution in the capital city New Delhi and there should be no politicking on the issue,” former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu said on November 8. "The air pollution problem should be taken seriously because Delhi is the capital of India and there should not be any politicking," he told a select group of journalists in New Delhi. "I appeal to all, including the Central government, to coordinate, cooperate and work together and evolve a consensus formula to tackle this," Mr. Naidu said, adding, "It is high time the problem is taken care of". On the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, he said, "Though I am not in favour of freebies before elections, as many parties make announcements without bothering about whether they have the finances to meet this expenditure, this announcement by the Prime Minister about extending the free food grains for poorer sections is a welcome step."
