New Delhi: Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena on Tuesday wrote to former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, holding his government responsible for the deteriorating air quality in the national capital.
Netizens slammed the LG over the 15-page letter, which alleged that “11 years of neglect and criminal inaction on you and your government’s part are responsible for the emergency air situation in the Capital.”
“The inaction of AAP govt in the last 11 years is primarily responsible for such severe condition of air pollution in the national capital. All that Kejriwal government did was blaming the then Punjab government and the Government of India. It never cared to take any step to curb dust generation that is majorly responsible for air pollution in Delhi," the L-G said in his letter.
Netizens have reacted to the news on X. One of the users questioned, "lol what's the Central Govt and 7/7 BJP MPs doing from 12 years? Afghan Jalebi?"
Another user sarcastically said, "Write a letter to Nehru & Indira as well they ll come & fix it."
A third user said,"When will they come out of blaming each other and start work on the ground."
"And then they will say "LG is independent," another user said.
Delhi is currently governed by BJP chief minister Rekha Gupta.
