Opposition Prioritizes Politics Over Delhi's Air Crisis in Parliament

  • Opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, initially sought a debate on Delhi's severe air pollution.
  • Despite scheduling, the air pollution discussion was sidelined by Opposition protests against the VB-G RAM G Bill.
  • Opposition leaders admitted prioritizing the VB-G RAM G Bill for its broader political dividends over the "Delhi-NCR issue" of pollution.
  • The government claimed readiness for the debate, blaming Opposition's disruptions for its failure.
  • BJP views replacing MGNREGA with VB-G RAM G Bill as a strategic move to counter Congress's legacy.

Why It Matters: Political calculations overshadowed Delhi's critical air pollution debate in Parliament.
