The Congress on Thursday sought answers from the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh over the loss of lives due to contaminated water in Indore, and a Supreme Court-level independent probe to make the BJP government accountable.Addressing a press conference here, Congress’ head of media and publicity department Pawan Khera alleged that the “ugly, brutal, and utterly callous face” of the BJP government has been exposed through this.
In Indore, he claimed 18 innocent lives, including that of a six-month-old infant, have been lost due to the gross negligence, incompetence, and blatant apathy of the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh.
Over 40,000 people have been affected, and many are still fighting for their lives in ICUs he said, adding this is the same Indore city that has clinched the “cleanest city” title for the eighth consecutive time in the central government’s Swachh Survekshan survey.
