As Delhi continued to suffer from ‘severe’ air quality for the second consecutive day on Thursday, with the AQI surging to 428, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra—back in the capital from Wayanad after contesting the Lok Sabha bypoll—likened the experience to entering a “gas chamber.”
She urged collective action, calling for “putting our heads together” to find a solution for cleaner air, highlighting Delhi’s worsening air quality every year.
Taking to her official handle on X, Priyanka Gandhi said,” Coming back to Delhi from Wayanad where the air is beautiful and the AQI is 35, was like entering a gas chamber. The blanket of smog is even more shocking when seen from the air.”
“Delhi’s pollution gets worse every year. We really should put our heads together and find a solution for cleaner air. It’s beyond this party or that, it’s practically impossible to breathe especially for kids, elders and those with respiratory issues. We just have to do something about it,” she added.
Priyanka Gandhi made her electoral debut in Wayanad, where polling took place on Wednesday. She thanked the people for exercising their franchise and expressed that their support inspires her to work even harder and continue fighting for the ideals on which the nation was built.

A bypoll was required in the hill constituency after Rahul Gandhi, who won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in the general elections earlier this year, vacated it after also securing a victory from the Raebareli constituency.
