Kejriwal banned crackers on Diwali just to hurt sentiments of Hindus
Pollution level was worst in Delhi before Diwali

New Delhi, Oct 27: On the one hand convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal is trying to project himself as pro-Hindu to get votes in Gujarat assembly elections while on the other hand he is brazenly pursuing anti-Hindu agenda.
The decision of the Delhi Government to impose a ban on cracks on the auspicious occasion of Diwali was aimed at hurting the sentiments of the Hindus because pollution was already the worst even before Deepawali. Instead of taking some preventive steps to check pollution in the Union capital, Arvind Kejriwal rather imposed a ban on crackers just to hurt the sentiments of Hindus in Delhi because the core agenda of his party is the deprive Hindus of their constitutional rights.
Delhi-based BJP leaders have reasons to charge Delhi Chief Minister with pursuing anti-Hindu agenda because pollution was worst before Diwali.
BJP leaders demanded Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's resignation over his alleged failure to control pollution in Delhi and claimed the city's air quality improved after Diwali.
BJP MP and former Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari said the city's air quality index (AQI) levels were worse before Diwali. The AQI had improved after the festival, showing that Diwali is not to be blamed for pollution in Delhi, he said.
“Before Diwali, the AQI was 330 and after Diwali this morning (Wednesday) it is 306. (This is) the benefits of bursting green crackers. So those who were blaming Diwali should now worry that if the pollution gets worse from now on then don't blame it on Diwali," Tiwari said in a tweet.
Delhi's air quality improved on Wednesday morning due to favourable wind speed but it remained in the 'poor' category.
The AQI stood at 255 at 10.10 am, improving from 303 at 4 pm on Tuesday. It was recorded at 312 at 4 pm on Monday, the day of Diwali.
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', and 401 and 500 'severe'.
The BJP's West Delhi MP Parvesh Sahib Singh, on the other hand, demanded Kejriwal's resignation for his failure to control pollution.
“Arvind ji, if your paid news is over on pollution, then also say something on it. Why are you telling so many lies everyday? If you do not have a solution to pollution, then leave the post of the CM,” Singh tweeted.
Singh's tweet was in response to pollution-related pictures posted on social media that claimed Delhi's AQI had hit the “very poor” category.
Reacting to the same pictures, party spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga said Diwali and crackers were not responsible for Delhi's deteriorating air quality.
“No one was burning crackers. Once again proved Diwali is not responsible for Pollution in Delhi. Kejriwal failed to provide any solution in Delhi and just to save his image he was blaming Hindus and crackers. Kejriwal Model is Fraud, Kejriwal is Fraud,” Bagga tweeted.
The air quality in the neighbouring cities of Ghaziabad (262), Noida (246), Greater Noida (196), Gurugram (242) and Faridabad (243) were in the 'moderate' to 'poor' category.
In the last two years, Delhi and its neighbouring areas witnessed severe air quality post Diwali, usually celebrated in November, with intense smog enveloping the region for days as stubble burning peaks during the month while low temperatures and calm winds trap pollutants.
