Rahul Gandhi Slams MP Govt Over Indore Water Deaths, Cites "Kumbhkarna Sleep"

  • Rahul Gandhi criticized the Madhya Pradesh government for water contamination deaths in Indore, stating "poison was distributed" while the administration "slept like Kumbhkarna."
  • The crisis has claimed 10 lives and affected over 1,400 people in Indore due to sewage mixing with drinking water from a pipeline leak in Bhagirathpura.
  • Gandhi questioned the inaction on complaints about filthy water and demanded accountability from officers and leaders.
  • He lashed out at BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya for dismissing questions as "useless," though Vijayvargiya later apologized.
  • Gandhi linked the Indore tragedy to other incidents like cough syrup deaths and rat-bitten newborns, calling MP an "epicentre of misgovernance" and criticizing PM Modi's silence.

Why It Matters: Rahul Gandhi blames MP government's "Kumbhkarna sleep" for Indore water contamination deaths and misgovernance.
