Aam Aadmi Party says that only Delhi and Punjab governments are taking steps regarding pollution. Haryana is not serious about this. Aam Aadmi Party's national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said in a press conference that Arvind Kejriwal is the only leader who takes short term and long term measures regarding pollution.

31 Percent decline in pollution in Delhi

Priyanka Kakkar said that there has been a 31 percent decline in pollution in Delhi and the Center also accepted this. CAQM reports that there has been a 52-67 percent reduction in stubble burning in Punjab. He said that the stubble burning in Punjab is about 500 km away from here and the stubble burning in Haryana is 100 km away.

What steps did Khattar government take regarding stubble burning?

National spokesperson of Aam Aadmi Party said what steps has been taken by the Haryana government regarding stubble burning. There is news that Haryana government is considering purchasing 100 EV buses. Till now the buses are running on polluted fuel. Haryana's industries, which are mostly in NCR, are also running on polluted fuel. People are using generators even in their homes.

Haryana is getting full support from the Center yet this is the situation

Kakkar further said that while the green cover in Delhi is the highest in the country at 23 percent, it is only 3.6 percent in Haryana. This is when Haryana is getting full funds from the Centre, which Delhi and Punjab do not get.
