Kejriwal blames Centre, Haryana and Punjab for 'deteriorating' air quality of Delhi

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday held the Centre and the Haryana and Punjab governments responsible for 'deteriorating' pollution level in the National Capital.

Taking to micro-blogging site, Twitter, the Chief Minister said,"Pollution was in limit in Delhi. But, at this time, every year because of the Centre, Haryana and Punjab Governments of BJP and Congress, Delhi has to suffer such pollution."

"Despite all our (AAP government)effort, they (Centre, Haryana and Punjab Governments)are not willing to do anything,"  he stated.

Mr Kejriwal also claimed that farmers of these states are also upset by their concerned government's in this regard.
