Sanjay Singh targets PM Modi over Delhi pollution, claiming AQI reached 3,336 on Diwali night and accusing BJP of ignoring the crisis.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government following alarming pollution levels recorded in Delhi on Diwali night. Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh criticised the Centre over the worsening air quality, claiming that India has become the world’s most polluted country. Taking a sarcastic dig at the Prime Minister, Singh said that PM Modi had worked “36 hours in 24 hours” to make India number one in pollution.
Speaking about the Delhi pollution controversy, Sanjay Singh claimed that the Air Quality Index (AQI) in the national capital touched 3,336 on Diwali night, according to monitoring conducted through certain private websites and individual platforms. He described the reported figure as extremely concerning for public health as well as India’s international reputation.
Sanjay Singh Takes a Dig at PM Modi Over Rising Pollution
Reacting to the worsening air quality, Sanjay Singh questioned the BJP government’s handling of the pollution crisis. He said that despite repeated discussions about India’s global leadership, the country continues to face serious environmental challenges.
According to Singh, 99 of the world’s 100 most polluted cities are located in India. He alleged that the BJP government has failed to take adequate responsibility for the situation and is more interested in political accusations than finding practical solutions.

20 Lakh People Die Due to Pollution Every Year, Claims Sanjay Singh
Highlighting the health consequences of air pollution, Sanjay Singh claimed that approximately 20 lakh people in India lose their lives every year due to pollution. He further alleged that around 30,000 pollution-related deaths occur in Delhi alone annually.
He said the scale of these deaths should be enough to make pollution a major national priority. Instead, according to Singh, the BJP leadership continues to avoid accountability and shifts the responsibility to other political parties.
On the Delhi pollution controversy, Singh argued that both central and state governments must work together to develop long-term solutions. He questioned what concrete steps had been taken over the past 12 years to control pollution and why the government had not established an effective coordinated strategy.
He also alleged that the BJP was attempting to divert public attention by blaming the Aam Aadmi Party instead of reviewing its own shortcomings.
AAP Leader Responds to Kapil Mishra’s Allegations on Punjab Stubble Burning
Sanjay Singh also responded to allegations made by BJP minister Kapil Mishra regarding stubble burning in Punjab. Defending the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government, he claimed that incidents of stubble burning in the state had declined by nearly 90 per cent.
According to Singh, Punjab recorded approximately 71,000 stubble-burning incidents annually before the AAP government came to power. He claimed that following the formation of the AAP government in 2022, these incidents started declining and have now come down to around 3,500–4,000.
The Rajya Sabha MP said these figures demonstrate the efforts made by the Punjab government and farmers to reduce agricultural residue burning. He argued that the state’s progress should be acknowledged rather than dismissed through political allegations.
Sanjay Singh Accuses BJP of Targeting Punjab Farmers
The AAP leader also accused the BJP of maintaining a negative attitude towards Punjab’s farming community. Referring to the year-long farmers’ protest against the three agricultural laws, Singh alleged that farmers were unfairly labelled during the agitation.
He said Punjab’s farmers had worked alongside Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to reduce stubble-burning incidents. However, instead of appreciating their efforts, the BJP was allegedly targeting the state and its farming community.
Singh maintained that farmers should receive support and practical alternatives to stubble burning rather than political criticism.
Political Blame Game Continues Over Delhi’s Air Pollution
The latest remarks have added another dimension to the political debate surrounding Delhi’s deteriorating air quality. While the AAP has held the BJP government responsible for failing to address the pollution crisis, the BJP has raised questions about stubble burning in Punjab.
The Delhi pollution controversy has once again highlighted the need for coordination between governments, effective pollution-control policies and long-term environmental planning.
With air pollution posing a serious challenge to public health, the focus needs to shift towards practical measures that can improve air quality and protect residents. Political disagreements may continue, but addressing the pollution crisis requires collective responsibility and sustained action.
