Netizens slam Andolaanjevi ecosystem for shedding crocodile tears over poor air quality of Delhi

If the term ‘hypocrisy’ was considered one of the political spectrum, the Indian left would have without an iota of doubt resonated deeply with it. At a time when India’s national capital is suffering health issues because of worsening air quality, the Indian left has come forward to showcase their ‘concern’ for Envi-ron-ment.

Delhi’s air quality remains in the ‘severe plus’ category, as thick smog engulfed the city, reducing visibility and pushing pollution levels to alarmingly high levels. The worsening air quality in Delhi is undeniably concerning, but equally troubling is the hypocrisy of the Indian Left and their ilks.

The same left whose smile went parabolic when the Indian government withdrew the farm laws. During the ‘farmers protest’, these usual suspects gave intellectual cover to bizarre demands of protesting farms including decriminalisation of stubble burning but are now jumping with their red flags expressing distress upon Delhi’s air health.

Moreover, rather than questioning the AAP government over its inaction to stop stubble burning in Punjab, the leftist cabal is mischievously pushing its agenda to absolve AAP’s misgovernance, inaction, and furthering the game, AAP masters in – the blame game and passing the buck.

However, their posts expressing concern over Delhi’s Pollution didn’t go down well with netizens who have offloaded the usual suspects’ past tweets to expose their double-speak over Environmental concerns while the same lobby continues to shield and downplay the major causes, culprits of air pollution.

‘Journalist’ Manisha Pande lamented that even after 8 long years, India has not been able to find a solution to Delhi’s air pollution. She then went on to cancel India’s credentials to become a global power. While she wrote off India and heaped praises on China, she fell short of highlighting the culpability of AAP or stubble-burning farmers, who have been the apple of the leftist cabal’s eyes.

Left-leaning journalist Meghnad went further as he threw a challenge at the Indian Prime Minister asking him to stay in Delhi for the entire winter without an air purifier. But posing the same challenge to Punjab or the Delhi Chief Minister could get me in trouble, so I wouldn’t.

Blaming the government Kaushik Basu went overboard arguing that pollution will bring India’s growth to an end.

Author and Journalist Sandip Ghosh reminded how Kaushik Basu marked the Odd Even policy of the AAP government as a game changer. He went up to ask a challenging question to him that were the 8 government in Delhi and 3 years in Punjab not enough for the AAP government to control the pollution

Stubble burning has been the primary cause of the dismal air quality in the National capital. In 2022, a study by IIT Delhi, published in Atmospheric Pollution Research examined the primary sources of air pollution in New Delhi around Diwali where it concluded by pointing out biomass (simply put stumbling burning) as the main cause for the depleting air health of Delhi.

The Apex Court too has asked the Punjab Government to stop stubble burning at any cost. But the left’s playbook has always blamed Diwali firecrackers for Delhi’s pollution and dropped the guillotine on it. Since this year the peak of the Delhi pollution came way after Diwali there was nothing left for the ‘left’ to blame other than pointing fingers against the central government.
