New Delhi:
A double motor government in Delhi cannot translate into positive action to end air pollution in the national capital, the Supreme Court said today in a moment of airy exchange.
As he heard the issue of air pollution, the discussion focused on the change in the government in Delhi.
Amicus Curiae in the case, senior lawyer Aparajita Singh, noted that she was relieved that there would no longer be a conflict between Delhi and the center, where the BJP comes to power with a huge majority. During the rule of the AAM Aadmi party government of Arvind Kejriwal: “Half the time was wasted on fighting and the problems remained unsolved,” she said.
Extra lawyer -general Aishwarya Bhati said she hopes that there will be no conflict.
The Bank of Justice Abhay and Justice Ujjjal Bhuiyan shot back on this: “This is the practical aspect of it. They can't fight. But it doesn't mean they will be active”.
The AAM Aadmi party, after a decade of the Government of Delhi, was led by last week's elections and sliding from 62 to 22 seats in the capital. The BJP, which had eight seats, had risen to 48.
In addition to corruption, the defeat of AAP has been attributed to the failure to curb the pollution of the Yamuna waters and the annual atmospheric haze that the national capital region suffers.
The criticism was sharper after the party formed the government in the neighboring Punjab – one of the states together with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, where stubble burns by farmers en masse to the smog blanket above North India.
With satellite images that make it clear that the farm in Punjab was continued unabated, there were questions what the monkey government did in the state to control it.
At the top of the court, Mrs Bhati sought permission to illuminate joke-IV measures that are currently being enforced in Delhi. The bank said it would consider the issue on 17 February and asked the law officer to give a graph of the air quality index.
