Political tussle: AAP raised questions on the reliability of data. Along with the deteriorating air of Delhi, politics also intensified on this. It is done. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has raised questions on the credibility of Delhi’s pollution data. AAP’s Delhi state president Saurabh Bhardwaj has accused the BJP government (led by Rekha Gupta) of setting up new monitoring stations in green and open areas of the city. Saurabh Bhardwaj said: “The aim of the BJP government is not to clean Delhi’s air, but to artificially reduce AQI readings by shifting monitoring stations to green zones. This is an attempt to create a false impression of improvement instead of taking concrete steps against pollution.”
