In New Delhi, Robert Vadra, husband of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, voiced his concerns about the severe air pollution in Delhi. He criticized the lack of action from governments, stating they are blaming each other instead of finding solutions. Vadra highlighted the health hazards posed by the pollution, describing the city as a 'gas chamber.'
Gopal Rai, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Environment Minister, criticized the central government for its inaction on the pollution crisis affecting North India. He emphasized the need for the central government to collaborate with states to address the issue.
Rai stated that the Delhi government is implementing the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage IV to combat the pollution. He urged the central government to take emergency measures to protect the region.
The Commission for Air Quality Management imposed GRAP Stage IV as Delhi's Air Quality Index reached 'severe plus' levels, prompting an emergency meeting.
Vadra also criticized UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's slogan 'Batenge to Katenge,' stating that such slogans harm national unity and promote communal issues.
Robert Vadra is an Indian businessman who is married to Priyanka Gandhi, a member of the famous Nehru-Gandhi political family in India.
Gopal Rai is a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is a political party in India that mainly operates in Delhi.
