Delhi Pollution Row: AAP's Sanjeev Jha Slams Centre Over Health Impact Claims

In a special broadcast on India Today, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Sanjeev Jha targets the Central government over the pollution crisis in Delhi. The discussion follows a political row where AAP highlighted a contradiction between Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s admission of falling ill in Delhi and the Centre’s statement in Parliament denying a direct link between pollution and lung disease. Jha asserts, ‘It is not just about Delhi. It is about the whole of North India.’ He criticises the lack of coordination, stating that as long as the Central government does not act as a guardian, the issue cannot be resolved. The segment also features inputs from India Today’s Amit Bhardwaj on the unfolding political blame game.
