Rahul Gandhi Indore Visit: Amidst the deaths due to contaminated water, is Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Indore just sympathy or politics? Preparations to go to Bombay Hospital and Bhagirathpura, shocking welcome of Sumitra Mahajan and strict warning of CM Mohan Yadav – suspense deepened.
Rahul Gandhi Indore Contaminated Water Crisis: The deaths due to contaminated drinking water in Indore have shocked the entire Madhya Pradesh. Amidst this serious situation, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi is going to reach Indore on Saturday. His visit is taking place at a time when anger, fear and questions are present together in the city. On one hand people have lost their loved ones, on the other hand politics has also intensified.
Why is Rahul Gandhi coming to Indore?
According to Rahul Gandhi’s proposed programme, he will first go to Bombay Hospital, where many people who have fallen ill due to contaminated water are being treated. There he will meet the patients and their families. After this he is likely to go to Bhagirathpura, which is considered to be the center of this entire water crisis. Many people have died here due to drinking contaminated water.
Why did the welcome of BJP leader Sumitra Mahajan become a ‘surprise’?
The most shocking thing about this visit came to light when former Lok Sabha speaker and senior BJP leader Sumitra Mahajan welcomed Rahul Gandhi’s arrival. He said in a conciliatory tone that the role of opposition is very important in democracy. He said that when BJP was in opposition, it had also struggled for public issues. This statement is being considered a “surprise move” in political circles.
Does Chief Minister Mohan Yadav have any objection to Rahul Gandhi’s visit?
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has given a strong statement without taking the name of Rahul Gandhi. He clearly said that there should be no politics on this tragedy. He said that if someone comes to do “politics on dead bodies”, Indore will not tolerate it. He warned that the protest should be constructive, otherwise it could have far-reaching consequences.
What happened behind closed doors between Jitu Patwari and Sumitra Mahajan?
The political atmosphere became more heated when Madhya Pradesh Congress President Jitu Patwari met Sumitra Mahajan at her house. The meeting took place behind closed doors, in which the contaminated water crisis of Bhagirathpura and its permanent solution were discussed. This meeting gave rise to many political speculations.
Is this just a political issue or a public health crisis?
After the meeting, Jitu Patwari clearly said that this matter is bigger than politics. He called it a serious public health crisis and said that people in many areas of Madhya Pradesh are forced to drink contaminated water. He said that instead of abusing or blaming, it is better that everyone works together to provide clean water to the people.
Will there be a joint effort to get Indore out of this crisis?
Sumitra Mahajan also said that she has given right suggestions on this issue and everyone should work together to find a solution. Will this crisis be solved by rising above politics, or will the tragedy of contaminated water also remain entangled in political battles? The people of Indore want to see the answer to this question in actions, not in statements.
