Santa Faints in Delhi Smog: AAP Blames BJP Amidst Escalating Pollution Crisis

• AAP staged a street theatre protest in Delhi's Connaught Place, featuring two men dressed as Santa Claus fainting due to pollution, to highlight the city's toxic air crisis.
• The protest, shared by Saurabh Bhardwaj, lambasted the BJP and central government, accusing them of "headline management" and lack of enforcement despite GRAP Stage IV measures.
• Delhi's AQI was recorded at 358 ("very poor"), with emergency measures like a vehicle ban in effect, which AAP claims are ineffective.
• BJP's Manjinder Singh Sirsa accused AAP of abandoning Delhi, deliberately burning waste, and manipulating AQI data, allegations AAP vehemently denies.
• The political blame game between AAP and BJP continues as Delhi residents suffer from severe air pollution, pushing AQI levels towards "severe plus."

Why It Matters: AAP's "Santa Faints" protest underscores the bitter political blame game over Delhi's toxic air crisis.
