War of Words: Cloud Seeding Sparks Political Storm in Delhi

A fierce exchange erupted Wednesday between Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over cloud seeding trials. Arvind Kejriwal, AAP leader, criticized the effort, alleging the initiative had failed to deliver any rain and branding the Delhi government ineffective.

The BJP's trials aimed to alleviate air pollution, yet no measurable rain was seen. As the city's weather conditions were reportedly unsuitable, the experiment in collaboration with IIT-Kanpur drew skepticism, leading to further political jabs. The BJP countered, calling Kejriwal out on past governance failures.

With AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj questioning the experiment's viability, the political standoff reviews the practicality and effectiveness of cloud seeding in Delhi, highlighting historical challenges and underscoring the contentious nature of these experiments.
