New Delhi:
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s remarks about the government using mist sprayers to contain pollution at hotspots has drawn a stinging response from her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal. In a post on social media platform X, Kejriwal has said Gupta’s comments made it clear that the government is working to “hide” the pollution data. He also took a dig at the Chief Minister’s assertion that AQI “is like temperature”, questioning “When did this new science come about that AQI has now become temperature”.
“The Chief Minister has at least accepted that wherever AQI monitors are installed, water spraying is being done there so that the truth about pollution doesn’t reach the people of Delhi. In other words, a game is underway to hide the data and show “clean air”,” read a rough translation of his vernacular post.
