“We don’t know as to what this government wants to prove through the odd-even formula. If you say that traffic congestion gets reduced for 15 days, the traffic will on the 16th day yet again face the same problem then why this drama,” BJP leader Vijendra Gupta said.

“There has been no reduction in pollution. The people of Delhi are facing problems but the Delhi government has no time to pay heed to their problems as it is busy in its own advertisement,” he added.
