			The primary cause of the increase in air and water pollution in Delhi is the BJP&#39;s opportunistic politics said Delhi CM Atishi. The AAP government in Punjab has made significant efforts over the past two years to reduce stubble burning incidents, managing to cut them in half last year. In contrast, statistics from Haryana show a 23 per cent rise in farm fires, while Uttar Pradesh has seen a 70 per cent increase. The BJP is engaging in cheap politics at the expense of Delhi&#39;s residents. In Anand Vihar, which has the highest AQI, all Delhi buses operate on CNG or electricity. However, buses coming from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana run on diesel. A significant contributor to the pollution in Anand Vihar is the large number of diesel-run buses arriving from UP.</div>
