Akhilesh Slams BJP Government Over Pollution Issues, Accuses It of Concealing Reality with False Data
Akhilesh Yadav criticizes the BJP for hiding pollution truths with false statistics, highlighting the dire air quality in Delhi.
Lucknow, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : The national president of the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav, has launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government regarding pollution levels. In a recent post on social media platform X, he accused the government of obscuring the truth behind pollution statistics. Yadav stated that the corrupt BJP government, based in Delhi, aims to cover up the unbearable suffering caused by pollution with misleading data. He urged people to ask innocent children, the sick, and the elderly who are fighting for every breath about the real state of air quality.
Yadav further criticized the BJP, asserting, “The BJP was false, is false, and will remain false.” The impact of air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region has become increasingly evident, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching around 400 in several areas, marking the air quality as extremely poor. Toxic smog has also led to reduced visibility in many locations.
Conditions have deteriorated to the point where people are struggling to see nearby objects. For several days, the air quality in Delhi and its surrounding areas has remained in the severe category. This poor visibility raises concerns about its effects on road traffic, as well as rail and air services.
To combat pollution, vehicle inspections and monitoring have intensified at Delhi’s borders. Following the implementation of the third phase of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), joint teams from traffic police, the transport department, and municipal corporations are conducting drives on the roads. These teams are checking vehicles that contribute to pollution and taking action against those violating regulations.
