The AAP staged a protest outside the Delhi Assembly, demanding accountability from the BJP-led government regarding the worsening pollution in the national capital. Led by Atishi, the AAP MLAs held banners and chanted slogans asking for answers on pollution. Gopal Rai, the AAP MLA and former Delhi Environment Minister, emphasized the severe impact of pollution on Delhi residents, urging the government to address its responsibilities.
The AAP accused the government of avoiding discussions on pollution-related issues. Gopal Rai highlighted that despite demands for answers, the government suspended MLAs, indicating a reluctance to engage in dialogue. The party vowed to persist in raising concerns about pollution until the government is willing to address the matter. The Winter Session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly witnessed protests from both the BJP and AAP on various issues.
The BJP criticized AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for alleging that government school teachers were being used to count stray dogs. BJP MLAs protested outside the Delhi Assembly, demanding an apology from Kejriwal for his remarks. The Central Pollution Control Board’s data showed a slight deterioration in the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi, standing at 286 on Tuesday compared to 244 on Monday.
