Rahul gandhi on Indore Water Contamination: Senior Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Madhya Pradesh government over water contamination in Indore’s Bhagirathpura area, which has claimed eight lives. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Gandhi said that poison is being distributed in Indore, while the administration is sleeping like Kumbakarna.
Posting on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “Poison, not water, was distributed in Indore, and the administration was in a slumber like Kumbhakarna. Every home is in mourning, the poor are helpless, and besides, there are arrogant statements from BJP leaders. Those whose hearths have been extinguished need consolation; the government has given them glory.”
When will action be taken against the responsible officers and leaders? – Congress MP
The Congress MP further said, “People have repeatedly complained about dirty, smelly water, yet why are they not listened to? How did the sewage get mixed with drinking water? Why was the supply not stopped on time? When will action be taken against the responsible officials and leaders?”
There was no water in Indore, poison was distributed and the administration remained in Kumbhakarni sleep.
There is mourning in every house, the poor are helpless – and on top of that the arrogant statements of BJP leaders. Those in whose homes the stoves had gone out needed solace; The government acted arrogantly.
People have repeatedly complained about dirty, smelly water – yet…

These are not small questions – they demand responsibility. Clean water is not a favor, it is a right to life, and BJP’s double engine, its careless administration and insensitive leadership are fully responsible for the destruction of this right.”
PM Modi silent as usual – Rahul Gandhi
Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Madhya Pradesh has now become the epicenter of misgovernance. Deaths from cough syrup, children being killed by rats in government hospitals, and now deaths from drinking contaminated sewage water. Modi, as always, remains silent whenever the poor die.”
