BJP slams AAP leaders for mocking pollution with comic references

The Delhi BJP has condemned AAP leaders for making sarcastic comments on a serious issue like pollution by referring to Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Santa Claus fainting. He said that what the people of Delhi are suffering today is the result of the negligence of Arvind Kejriwal’s Government s in Delhi and Punjab.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said that when Saurabh Bhardwaj was the Health Minister in the Kejriwal Government, his government played with the health of the people. No work was done on pollution control for over ten years. During his tenure as Health Minister, cases of distribution of fake medicines in Delhi Government hospitals came to light, and Mohalla Clinics turned into centres of scams.

The Delhi BJP President said it is regrettable that when they were in power, the Kejriwal and Saurabh Governments failed to manage the causes of pollution, and now that they are in the Opposition, they are making laughable statements.  Sachdeva said that by not working while in power and now making frivolous remarks on pollution, both Kejriwal and Saurabh are losing their image among the public.

It would be better if Kejriwal and Saurabh work seriously and, instead of indulging in sarcastic theatrics on pollution, let the people of Delhi and the Government focus on preventing pollution.

Earlier on Saturday, AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj had released a video on X showing Superman, Spiderman and Batman falling ill due to pollution. The senior AAP leader on Sunday followed it up on X with a ‘pollution song’, using satire to expose the government's deception on air quality.

“Even Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Santa Claus, who came to visit Delhi, were shocked by the severe pollution. They wondered that if the air in the country’s capital is so toxic despite a four-engine Government, then what must be the condition in the NCR and BJP-ruled states around Delhi, where there are only the so-called two or three-engine Governments. Seeing the government deception, Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Santa Claus could not remain silent and tried to tell CM Rekha Gupta through a song that this deception has brought her to this point. Delhi is groaning under pollution, now the CM must tell us what the people of Delhi should do?” the AAP Delhi Unit Chief said.

He added, “Because of Delhi’s pollution, even Superman, Spiderman and Batman fell ill. When they went to a government hospital for treatment, they found doctors but no medicines, and they were forced to buy oxygen cylinders and medicines from outside the hospital. In the area of the BJP minister Kapil Mishra, Government work is going on and roads are being dug up. Is this how pollution will be reduced? First, the BJP Government must stop the manipulation at Air Quality Index monitoring stations and then take concrete measures to reduce pollution.”
