Gopal Rai, Delhi Environment Minister
Political parties have gone into full action regarding the assembly elections in Maharashtra. The last date for nomination is Tuesday. The process of announcing candidates continues by both the ruling party and the opposition. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party has decided that it will not contest the Maharashtra Assembly elections but will instead seek votes for the parties included in the Mahavikas Aghadi. Now, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has openly discussed this entire issue.
Speaking to TV9, Gopal Rai said that certainly within Maharashtra, the Indian Alliance had offered the AAP to contest for a seat. The party thought a lot about the proposal and decided that we will not contest the elections in Maharashtra and all our workers and leaders will campaign for the Indian Alliance. At the same time, on the question of when Arvind Kejriwal will start election campaign, Gopal Rai said that he will tell him when it will happen.
Alliance could not be formed in Haryana elections
In fact, the Aam Aadmi Party had joined the Indian alliance in the Lok Sabha elections. However, the party has not gained much benefit from joining the alliance. This is because only the BJP won 7 out of 7 seats in Delhi. However, some states have definitely seen an increase in the Aam Aadmi Party’s vote share. Recently, assembly elections were held in Haryana in which the Aam Aadmi Party attempted an alliance with the Congress but failed.
What did Minister Gopal Rai say about the environmental situation in Delhi?
Delhi Minister Gopal Rai also answered many questions on the issue of rising pollution in the capital. On the issue of preparations, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said that environmental experts currently estimate that the next 15 days will be very difficult. Three factors are being seen simultaneously. The first effects of stubble are already visible. The incidence of stubble burning is decreasing, but the impact of the incidents that are occurring is also becoming visible.
He said that the time when firecrackers are lit on the second Diwali is also the same. The third festival is like Dhanteras, Bhaiya Dooj, then there is Chhoti Diwali, Badi Diwali, Chhath Puja. At this time, the vehicles on the road create a traffic jam. In such a situation, our endeavor is to work on behalf of the Delhi government by keeping a 24-hour vigil on it.
Minister called on everyone to cooperate
Gopal Rai said that we also appeal to the people of Delhi to all cooperate in this and we also need the cooperation of the Central Government and the State Governments, so that we all work together for the next 15 days and reduce the impact. .
For the first time, drones are being used to monitor pollution in Delhi. On the question whether a pilot project has been started in Wazirpur and whether any effective impact is seen, Gopal Rai said that it is a pilot project right now. Scientists will study the reports coming from the ground and the reports coming from above and then give us the report.
