New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Monday expressed surprise over the illogical statements made by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders about Delhi’s pollution and objection to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s plan to campaign in the Bihar elections.
Sachdeva also targeted former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and former minister and Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bhardwaj for spreading lies on pollution and raising questions on the Delhi Chief Minister’s visit to Bihar.
He said that although the pollution situation in Delhi is somewhat worrying, residents are aware that the city’s air quality has improved in the last few months.
Delhi BJP President said that before raising questions on the visit of our BJP Chief Minister and some ministers to Bihar for election campaign, AAP Delhi President should clarify where Sisodia was hiding for the last several months.
Sachdeva said that Bhardwaj is known for making baseless and fabricated statements. But he should explain why he was promoting an organization calling Delhi a gas chamber when the average AQI of Delhi was around 310 on Monday.
The Delhi BJP president said that in the last three years, on November 3, 2024, 2023 and 2022, AQI levels were recorded at 382, 468 and 450 respectively – where was his concern when AAP was in power?
Sachdeva said that the BJP government is a responsible government and the Environment Minister is continuously working with experts to deal with air pollution.
The Delhi BJP president said it is normal for chief ministers and ministers of various states to travel and campaign during elections.
But now that Bhardwaj has raised this issue, he should clarify – if it is wrong for CM Gupta to visit Bihar during pollution, then what will he say about flood-hit Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Bhagwant Mann’s visit to Gujarat?
Sachdeva also raised questions over Delhi opposition leader Atishi’s long stay in Goa and former environment minister Gopal Rai’s long election stay in Gujarat.
