The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has gone on the offensive over Delhi’s worsening pollution, sharply criticizing the Rekha Gupta-led Delhi government for its failed cloud seeding attempt. The party’s senior leader and media in-charge, Anurag Dhanda, joined the debate by taking a subtle dig at the government, echoing AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal’s criticism of the administration’s inefficiency.
Cloud Seeding Effort Draws Fire
According to a report by Aaj Tak, the Delhi government’s cloud seeding experiment — initiated to induce artificial rainfall and reduce air pollution — has failed to deliver results. Reacting to this, Arvind Kejriwal posted on X, saying,
“In fact, all the engines of this government have failed. This government itself is a complete failure.”
Anurag Dhanda reposted Kejriwal’s statement, endorsing his remarks and indirectly mocking the ruling administration for its inability to implement effective anti-pollution measures. His response has sparked widespread attention on social media.
Political Crossfire Over Pollution
As the winter season begins, toxic smog and poor air quality have once again enveloped the national capital, sparking a political showdown. The Aam Aadmi Party has accused the Delhi government of failing to control pollution, claiming that the administration’s policies lack both vision and execution.
Meanwhile, the government has defended its stance, presenting counterarguments and insisting that it is making all necessary efforts to combat the pollution crisis.
Public Health and Political Accountability
The situation has reignited debates over accountability and governance in Delhi, as citizens struggle with hazardous air conditions. While AAP continues to question the ruling government’s preparedness, environmentalists are calling for long-term, sustainable solutions beyond temporary experiments like cloud seeding.
