New Delhi, Nov. 29 -- A political row kicked off on Friday after Opposition leaders hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led governments at the Centre and state over air pollution in Delhi. In a post on X, leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his "silence" on the "health emergency" in the national capital and across the country. Gandhi also pressed for a full discussion on the issue in winter session of Parliament. "Modi ji, India's children are choking in front of us. How can you stay silent? Why does your government show no urgency, no plan, no accountability?" Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X. He also shared a video of his meeting with Warrior Moms, a collective of mothers campaigning for children's right to clean air. In the video, said the government has long been in "denial" and has relied on little more than "optics" while the crisis deepens. Gandhi alleged that the air pollution continues "because there are stakeholders who benefit from it". "If there are 500 to 1,000 commercial units who are polluting Delhi, they have political power," he added. Separately, former Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, in a post on X, criticised the government for not reducing GST on air purifiers. "Clean air and clean water are the basic rights of every citizen. The air in North India including Delhi has become lethal, and instead of providing a solution, the government is collecting taxes from the public," Kejriwal posted on X on Friday. In response, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said the pollution issue develops every year in the city due to the inaction by successive Congress and AAP governments over the past 27 years. "Not only did these governments fail to take any concrete steps to reduce pollution, they didn't even conduct a study to determine the main causes of pollution in Delhi," Sachdeva said in a statement....
