Delhi Pollution Crisis: BJP, AAP Intensify Blame Game as AQI Worsens

• BJP and AAP are locked in a blame game over Delhi's severe air pollution, with each party accusing the other of negligence and political opportunism.
• BJP leaders, including Parvesh Verma and Manjinder Singh Sirsa, allege AAP's past failures in governance and accuse an AAP councillor of deliberately burning garbage to create pollution.
• AAP leaders, like Saurabh Bharadwaj, counter-accuse BJP of failing to control pollution, manipulating AQI data, and making false claims, while protesting the crisis.
• AAP staged a unique protest with "Santa Claus fainted" to highlight the extreme health hazards posed by Delhi's "very poor" air quality.
• Delhi's AQI remains in the 'very poor' category, prompting government measures like restricting non-BS-VI vehicles and mandating 50% office staff.

Why It Matters: Delhi's severe pollution crisis has devolved into a political blame game between BJP and AAP.
