OPINION | Delhi air pollution: Kejriwal on the defensive
India TV NewsThe national capital region continued to reel under highly toxic 'severe' category of air pollution for the third straight day on Saturday. On Friday, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann folded their hands at a press conference and admitted their inability in preventing farm stubble fires. This was the same Kejriwal who had last year blamed stubble fires in Punjab as the main cause of air pollution in Delhi, but on Friday, he was speaking in a different tune. AAP is now in power in Punjab, and instead of providing facilities to farmers in Punjab, Kejriwal is giving excuses by saying other states like Bihar and UP too are facing air pollution. Kejriwal expected the air pollution issue to blow away once the stubble fires in Punjab are over and wheat sowing season starts.
