Congress slams Delhi BJP over pollution crisis amid hospital respiratory cases

Delhi's air quality crisis has become the focus of fresh political scrutiny after a Congress delegation led by Delhi unit president Devender Yadav visited LNJP Hospital to assess the health impact of worsening pollution levels in the national capital.

Following the hospital visit, the Congress team accused the BJP-led Delhi government of failing to implement sufficient measures to curb air pollution. The delegation highlighted the rising number of respiratory ailments being treated at the facility, linking the spike directly to deteriorating air quality in the city.

The visit underscores growing public health concerns as Delhi enters its annual pollution season. Medical professionals at healthcare facilities across the capital have reported increased patient loads with respiratory complications in recent weeks, a pattern consistent with seasonal air quality deterioration.

The Congress delegation's visit reflects broader political disagreement over Delhi's pollution management strategy. While the BJP government has pointed to various anti-pollution initiatives, opposition parties have criticized the response as insufficient to address the scale of the public health challenge posed by the city's air quality crisis.

As pollution levels continue to pose a significant health risk to Delhi residents, the issue is expected to remain a focal point of political debate during the coming months.
