Indore Water Deaths | BJP MP Says Clean Water 'People's Responsibility' Amid Row Over Indore Deaths
BJP MP Gyaneshwar Patil's statement pinning the responsibility of ensuring clean water on citizens has added fire to an ongoing political row that began after 20 people died after consuming contaminated water in Indore's Bhagirathpura area. When asked if any specific instructions have been issued in his constituency Khandwa following the Indore tragedy, Patil said, "Whether it is Khandwa, the municipal council or the village panchayat, everyone should learn a lesson from the Indore incident. It is not right to assume that the government will do everything. The public also has a responsibility. We have continuously instructed that water tanks and sources should be cleaned. Clean water is the resolve of our Prime Minister Modi and taps are being provided in every house. If there are shortcomings, we should all sit together, bring it to the administration's notice and resolve them."
