The serious problem of pollution persists in the national capital of the country. Due to air pollution in Delhi, health related problems of people are increasing. Meanwhile, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has given a big statement. While apologizing to the people of Delhi, he said that it is impossible for any government to completely eliminate pollution in just nine-ten months. Along with Aam Aadmi Party, he also held Congress responsible for this.
Delhi government minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, “Our government in Delhi is trying to improve the average AQI every month. While apologizing to the people of Delhi, I want to say that it is impossible for any government to clean up all the pollution in 9-10 months. But I want to tell you, people of Delhi, that the Aam Aadmi Party government has been dishonest and deceitful, we have improved it and reduced the AQI.

Pollution disease due to AAP and Congress- Sirsa
Sirsa further said, “Only if we continue to reduce pollution in this manner, it is possible to provide clean air to Delhi. This is the disease of the previous government of Aam Aadmi Party for 10-12 years and Congress for 15 years. Now when Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi ji talk about wearing masks, I want to ask them, where were your masks last year? Last year there was more pollution than this.
‘Pollution in Delhi harms people’s health’
He also said, “Last year there were dirtier days than this.” Last year, if we talk about today, AQI was 380 but neither Rahul Gandhi nor Priyanka Gandhi was seen. These people were associated with Aam Aadmi Party. Today he has remembered everything. Of course there is pollution in Delhi, children’s health is being harmed but this is the contribution of Aam Aadmi Party, which we are trying to fix. We are taking action every day like doctors, but the Aam Aadmi Party has given us the task of making people sick.
Let us tell you that on Tuesday (December 16) morning, some improvement was seen in the air quality (AQI) of the national capital, where the AQI was 377 as compared to 498 a day earlier. However, there was fog in the city and visibility was also low.
