Cong targets AAP, BJP in 'white paper'

The document, titled "Mauka Mauka, Har Baar Dhoka," targeted the two parties over pollution, civic facilities, education, healthcare, and law and order.

The white paper criticised the alleged neglect of pension schemes for senior citizens, slum demolitions, and the housing crisis. It pointed to vacant seats for economically weaker sections in schools, understaffed hospitals, and crumbling infrastructure as evidence of mismanagement.

Environmental concerns, including the deteriorating Yamuna river and worsening air quality, also took center stage.
