Modi government could give neither clean water, nor clean air, making public suffer: Mallikarjun Kharge
Jan-02-2026

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge hit out at the BJP-led government over the alleged water contamination incident in Indore, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi keeps trumpeting the Jal Jeevan Mission but was silent on deaths caused by contaminated water in Indore.

Mallikarjun Kharge said, ‘Narendra Modi ji, who never gets tired of trumpeting the Jal Jeevan Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, is maintaining his usual silence on the deaths caused by drinking contaminated water in Indore. Kharge stated that the Modi government & the BJP failed to provide either clean water or clean air to the country and the common people are the ones suffering.

The Congress chief further said, ‘This is the same Indore city that has won the title of 'cleanest city' in the central government's Swachh Survekshan (cleanliness survey) for the eighth consecutive time. It is a matter of shame that due to the BJP's failures, the people here are yearning for clean water’. He said that for 11 years, the country has received nothing but long speeches, lies and deceit, empty promises, and boasts about the ‘double-engine’ government.

Kharge claimed that all of the government's schemes are mired in corruption and irregularities, and added that 10 percent of the Jal Jeevan Mission funds were allocated for cleaning contaminated water.

This follows reports of multiple deaths caused by contaminated water, with many others hospitalised in Bhagirathpura over the past nine days.
