Amid growing public anger over worsening air pollution in the national capital, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anurag Dhanda has taken a sharp dig at the Delhi government. Responding to the city’s environmental crisis, Dhanda criticised Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa for seeking public suggestions to combat pollution and bluntly advised him to resign instead.
Dhanda’s Sharp Response to Sirsa’s Post
Dhanda’s comment came in reaction to a social media post by Minister Sirsa, who invited Delhi residents to share ideas on making the city cleaner, greener, and safer. Quoting Sirsa’s post, Dhanda reposted with a short but stinging remark:
“Yes, here is one good idea. You resign.”
His sarcastic response has sparked discussion across social media, as citizens and political observers interpret it as a strong statement against the government’s handling of Delhi’s pollution crisis.
Growing Anger Over Delhi’s Air Quality
Pollution levels in Delhi have reached alarming levels once again, with thick smog enveloping the city and air quality dropping to hazardous levels. Schools have been shifted to online mode, and health advisories have been issued across the capital. Despite several measures and meetings, residents continue to face respiratory issues and poor visibility due to toxic air.
The Delhi government recently opened a public consultation window, inviting citizens to submit suggestions for environmental improvement until November 15, but critics have called it a publicity move. Opposition leaders have accused the government of failing to implement effective pollution-control measures despite repeated warnings and previous experiences.
Dhanda’s Consistent Stand on Public Issues
Known for his straightforward and issue-based politics, Anurag Dhanda has consistently spoken out on matters of public welfare. His latest criticism of the government’s inaction reflects his commitment to accountability and his belief in result-oriented governance.
Observers say Dhanda’s pointed remark mirrors the frustration of Delhi residents who have been enduring worsening air conditions year after year, with little visible improvement from the authorities.
