Kejriwal a peculiar person, says Amarinder Singh in Delhi smog row

November 09, 2017 19:57

Arvind Kejriwal is a "peculiar person with views on everything but no understanding", Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh snapped at his Delhi counterpart, who has blamed the thick, deadly smog covering the capital mainly on stubble burning in neighbouring states.

"Kejriwal is a very peculiar person...he has his own viewpoints on everything without understanding the situation," Amarinder Singh said hours after Kejriwal suggested that the Punjab and Haryana governments rise above politics and help evolve a solution to Delhi's air quality emergency.

"If I have got 20 million tonnes of paddy straw, if I ask the farmer to store this, farms will be covered with the paddy straw. Kejriwal doesn't understand this problem," said the chief minister.

The Delhi CM said he had been asking, without luck, to meet with his Haryana and Punjab counterparts. "I haven't yet got a chance to meet the two CMs," he said.
