Political sparring over Delhi's worsening air pollution has intensified after the capital recorded AQI levels above 400 in several areas following Diwali. RJD MP Manoj Jha questioned the BJP-led government's preparedness, asking why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah should not be held accountable. He criticised the tendency to blame stubble burning every winter and demanded answers on year-round preparations to tackle pollution, arguing that the responsibility to implement an action plan rests with the government, not the Opposition.
