The Aam Admi Party Convenor reiterated that the central government has to come up with a joint action plan to tackle air pollution and it's not a time to point fingers.
Air pollution is an all-India crisis, with many parts of North India recording severe air pollution, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said today as air quality in Delhi continued to remain in the 'severe' category for the second consecutive day.
"We take full responsibility for increasing farm fires in Punjab," he said, adding that it has been just six months since they formed a government in Punjab. "We have taken steps to control it. Stubble burning will come down by next year," he said.
The Aam Admi Party Convenor reiterated that the central government has to come up with a joint action plan to tackle air pollution and it's not a time to point fingers.
"The Kejriwal government is not solely responsible for the worsening air quality," he said at a press conference today with party colleague and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann by his side.
