Madhya Pradesh’s pride, Indore, is reeling from a contaminated water scourge that’s killed 29 in Bhagirathpura alone. Congress leader Umang Singhar, the assembly’s opposition chief, has demanded the BJP government prioritize safe drinking water over political posturing.
‘BJP wants MP to become a cremation ground?’ Singhar retorted in the house, citing the latest fatality. He slammed the administration for fooling citizens with ‘pure’ labels on sewage water while deaths mount.
With families in mourning and officials seemingly absent, Singhar questioned governmental sensitivity: ‘Will they own up to broken homes, or just serve more falsehoods?’ His plea underscores a dire need for accountability.
Trouble started when tainted water sickened dozens; critical patients didn’t survive. The state suspended errant staff and shuffled postings, alongside assurances of pure supply. However, skeptics doubt the efficacy.
From Rahul Gandhi’s field assessment to judicial interventions, all eyes are on resolution. The government claims serious action, but Singhar insists on tangible steps to end this ‘mass water poisoning’ and safeguard lives.
