AAP ensured 209 days of clean air in a year, let BJP take it forward: Gopal Rai
The incumbent environment minister needs to develop a concrete action plan to achieve this.

Former Delhi Environment minister Gopal Rai, claiming that the previous AAP government, under Arvind Kejriwal’s leadership, ensured clean air for Delhi to 209 days in the last year from 109 in 2016, said on Sunday that the BJP should take it forward.
AAP Delhi convenor Gopal Rai on Friday held a meeting with candidates who contested the Assembly elections, during which it was decided that those who performed well in the recently concluded polls would be given organizational responsibilities.
The ruckus by AAP legislators came ahead of the tabling of 14 CAG reports by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
Senior AAP leader Gopal Rai announced on Sunday that former chief minister Atishi has been elected leader of the legislative party, and hence will be the leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly.
Recognising their invaluable efforts to keep the city clean, Rai said they have made a significant contribution to keeping Delhi clean and beautiful.
Amid Delhi's air pollution situation, Environment Minister Gopal Rai wrote to the Chief Secretary on Friday, urging personal oversight regarding the enforcement of the anti-pollution Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).
In a review meeting over pollution held here, Rai informed that it has been decided to implement 50 per cent work from home rule across the state government departments, except those that fall under the 18 essential services category.
Taking a jibe at Rai, Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that if the Delhi minister had timely written enough letters to AAP's Punjab government to stop stubble burning, or to the national capital's PWD to repair broken roads, the outcomes could have been better.
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has written to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav for the fourth time, requesting clearances and an emergency meeting with stakeholders and experts.
