Delhi pollution: Swachh Bharat of no good, says Mamata Banerjee

“What good has the Swachh Mission done? In Delhi, Sri Lankan players are playing wearing masks. From political pollution to weather pollution, Delhi represents it all,” Banerjee said at a function here today.

She said pollution had gone up to such levels in Delhi that people have to wear masks even while eating and outdoors.

“Politicians, too, need a mask while talking…Charity begins at home. First manage your home, then think about other places,” Banerjee said.

In an unprecedented turn of events, the Sri Lankan cricket team held up play during the third Test against India in Delhi recently, complaining of poor air quality that forced the hosts to declare their innings.
