Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently said that “AQI is like a temperature,” claiming sprinkling water around pollution‑hotspots can reduce AQI levels. Her remarks triggered sharp backlash from Kejriwal. He accused her government of “hiding” pollution data by sprinkling water near air‑quality monitors to artificially lower readings. Kejriwal’s post on social media questioned when “this new science” started — implying that treating air quality like temperature is absurd. The controversy has reignited public scrutiny of official air‑quality claims in the capital amid serious pollution concerns. (PC: NDTV)
