New Delhi/IBNS: Slamming the Delhi Chief Minister, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Vijay Goyal has said Arvind Kejriwal took no step to control the air pollution in the national capital but imposed Odd-Even rule which is in place from Monday.
Goyal told media, "I didn't read a single statement of the government regarding air pollution. Arvind Kejriwal did nothing but only imposed Odd-Even rule. He has spent huge sums of money for advertisements. What will people do with Kejriwal's smiling faces (on posters) to tackle pollution?"
