Instead of 'helping' Haryana, focus on Delhi's pollution problem, Khattar tells Kejriwal
The Hindu
Khattar asks Kejriwal to focus on Delhi air pollution after the Delhi CM offered help to implement 'Mukhyamantri Teerth Yatra' scheme. Khattar says Haryana is capable of implementing welfare schemes, offers help if Kejriwal faces any problems in governing Delhi
A day after Arvind Kejriwal offered "help" to implement the ‘Mukhyamantri Teerth Yatra’ scheme, Haryana Chief Minister M.L. Khattar on Monday asked his Delhi counterpart to focus on protecting people from the worsening air quality in the national capital.
Mr. Khattar asserted that Haryana is fully capable of implementing welfare schemes and said that the State would be "happy to help" Mr. Kejriwal if he faces any problems in governing Delhi.
Days after the BJP-led government in Haryana launched the 'Mukhyamantri Teerth Yatra' scheme for the elderly, Mr. Kejriwal on Sunday said the BJP is trying to work for the people by learning from his government.
In a post on X, Mr. Kejriwal also extended help to Mr. Khattar in implementing the scheme.
The Haryana Chief Minister, in a post in Hindi, said on X, "Our dashing Haryana is fully capable of implementing every scheme." "Protect the citizens by taking responsibility for pollution in Delhi. In this time of crisis, leaving Delhi and travelling to other States to campaign for elections is a sign of your irresponsibility," Mr. Khattar told Mr. Kejriwal, who has been campaigning in some poll-bound States.
On Sunday, Mr. Kejriwal had also attended a party event in Haryana's Rohtak.
"If you face any problem in running the governance of Delhi then please ask, we will be very happy to help you," Mr. Khattar further said.
