New Delhi, Jan 6 (UNI) Delhi environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a sharp response to the opposition said that the government is fully prepared for a debate on the work done on pollution in the past eleven months but the Aam Aadmi Party continues to run away from any meaningful discussion.
Sirsa said that yesterday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs arrived wearing masks worth ₹2 lakh each, trying to hide their faces. “Once again today, they walked out of the House, and I am certain that tomorrow too, they will evade the discussion on pollution.
When the people of Delhi questioned them, they turned up today without masks,” Sirsa said
Calling it pure theatrics, Sirsa said that this incident exposes the true face of the Aam Aadmi Party. “After eleven years in power, their leaders have amassed so much money that their MLAs come to the Assembly wearing masks worth lakhs of rupees. But the moment the people of Delhi demand accountability, they take off their masks. Those who hid their faces yesterday have now revealed them. This is the real face of AAP,” he stated.
Sirsa further said that this will go down as a record, the Aam Aadmi Party never made honest efforts towards pollution control in its eleven years of governance and continuously misled the people of Delhi. “In contrast, within eleven months, the BJP government has taken concrete steps to reduce pollution. We are eager for a full debate so that the truth comes out, how the AAP misused the issue of pollution for years and worsened Delhi’s air quality,” he asserted.
Sirsa urged Leader of Opposition and other AAP MLAs to participate in the discussion instead of walking away. “There is still time for the Aam Aadmi Party to accept its failure over the past eleven years,” he said.
Sirsa claimed that during the BJP government’s eleven-month tenure, Delhi witnessed the highest number of clean air days in more than a decade, a milestone achieved in the year 2025 itself.
