"No state is as polluted as Delhi. They (AAP) should look at that first. People in Delhi are desperate to breathe fresh air. You can go to Delhi and check," Sawant told a press conference held at his official residence in Panaji, soon after his two-day visit to the national capital.

 

"I want to tell Kejriwal to worry about Delhi first and not Goa," he said.

 

The comments by Sawant come on the heels of severe criticism of the BJP-led coalition government's Covid-19 management in Goa, where 651 persons have died after testing positive for coronavirus. In all 45,389 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in Goa so far.
