Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Gautam Gambhir,who has been facing the heat over the past few days for skipping a meeting onair pollution in Delhi to go to Indore for commercial commitments, has said ifhis eating jalebi causes pollution in Delhi, he is ready to stop eating thesweet dish.
Gambhir, while speaking to news agency ANI defended his jalebi-eating photos with former cricket colleague VVS Laxman and said, "Agar mera jalebi khane se Delhi ka pollution badha hai, toh main hamesha ke liye jalebi chhod sakta hoon…10 minute mein mujhe troll karna shuru kar diya, agar itni mehnat Delhi ki pollution ko kam karne mein ki hoti toh hum saas le pate." (If my eating jalebis has caused pollution in Delhi, I will stop eating jalebis forever. You started trolling me in 10 minutes. Had you worked this hard on checking pollution in Delhi, we would be breathing better air today).
Taking a dig at AAP over Delhi's water woes, Gambhirin a Tweet said, "Water or jalebi?"
The cricketer-turned-politician came under attack by AAP recently for not attending a key parliamentary panel meeting on air pollution on Friday. The BJP lawmaker hit back saying he should be judged by his work and not by propaganda or false narrative.
Gambhir said that he has done enough work to fight pollution, which includes a plan to install giant air purifiers in his constituency.
