The new @BJP4Delhi Government of Delhi won’t have an easy time ahead. They have to scrub clean 10 years of the environmental mess of @AAPDelhi and the previous 15 years of Sheila Dixit where @_SandeepDikshit and his mother rolled out policies that harmed Delhi’s poorest. Both govts got good things done too but they paled in comparison. It won’t be easy to manage but it needs to be done.

@AmitTrds @AAPDelhi @_SandeepDikshit Well who exactly delivered in this century in this city?

Trump says paper straws don’t work, will bring back plastic straws. The point is not paper or plastic but that everywhere, incl in India, individuals oft take policy decisions based on personal experience, not robust evidence. Change that🥹 via @NYTimes

I caught a chill and more so I thought I’d work in the sun. Then I got up to eat my meds and got displaced.

Genuine, uncontaminated, white misty fog. The kind of winter sight so common in Delhi just 15 years ago. I miss it now- and I hate the miserable grey smog. May #Bhopal never lose its fog to smog.

USAID seeks to create a development shift. One can debate that it could have been closed differently or not. But what does the Fulbright achieve? How is it useful to fund global people, many part of embassy networking circuits, to study in the US if the US wants to become inward focussed on its own re-development? Why not offer Fulbrights to Americans on American soil who can use it for the US? I’m not even sure Indians need this bragging right. @elonmusk

I don’t know who will form the government in Delhi. But what I can say w confidence is that anyone trying to improve things will have a hard time undoing the harm that’s been done. So whoever it is, be gutsy and be brave.

One of be things that happened today when I went to vote was that one of the junior officials on duty gave me a lecture. He insisted that voting was one thing but insisted it was important to be active one’s own self. Look after trees, plant trees, stop people from throwing trash everywhere. He said it all. Then he gave me a plant. “No party has funded it,” he said. “We are trying to create awareness amongst people.”

The real test is not what is in the manifesto but what the data tells us 2 years from today.

Congress candidate @_SandeepDikshit spends extra time lingering outside the polling booth today. People spoke to him, cameras focused on him, he gathered a crowd. How is this not a form of campaigning? Obviously, some people are exempt from the country’s basic code of conduct. @ECISVEEP

Voted. For a healthy, safe future of every child- human or otherwise. For a Delhi that gets air worthy of inhaling and water worthy of drinking.

@_SandeepDikshit is clearly exempt from the election code of conduct. Saw him soon after I voted hanging around next to the New Delhi polling booth with cameras, sycophants and others. If that’s not subtle campaigning what is? @ECISVEEP

The government that will be formed on Feb 8th should see everything only from one lens : the life of a Delhi baby in a slum. What will she breathe? What will she drink? What can they afford to feed her? How can she stay safe from heat? How will she be looked after when her entire adult family works ? What will schooling do for her? How can she always be safe? What can she do for leisure? How can she experience the least mental health crises? How can she access state services? How to make sure she gets a well paying, safe, dignified job? How can she be a confident adult who lives on her own term? This is what we ask for. This is all we ask for. Getting this right will transform our city for everyone. @AAPDelhi @INCIndia @BJP4Delhi

Every political party needs to know one fact : airshed. Air pollution doesn’t just happen city wide. The pollutants circulate in a wider territory called airshed. India has about 16 airsheds. To solve Delhi’s air pollution crisis, whoever the government is must work w other states and govts in our airshed for the good of all. Otherwise every promise will stand hollow.
