In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said the Indore water tragedy exposed deep administrative failure. He alleged that sewage-contaminated water reached households in Bhagirathpura and caused widespread illness and deaths. “Not water, but poison was distributed in Indore,” he wrote, adding that officials stayed asleep despite repeated complaints.

Rahul Gandhi described Madhya Pradesh as the epicentre of misgovernance. He cited earlier incidents, including deaths linked to cough syrup and poor hygiene in government hospitals. According to him, insensitive leadership worsened the pain of grieving families.

The controversy intensified after senior BJP minister Kailash Vijayvargiya used an objectionable remark when questioned about the incident. Rahul Gandhi said victims needed compassion, not arrogance.

Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava confirmed 10 deaths due to a diarrhoea outbreak. However, local residents claimed the toll reached 14, including an infant. Health officials have not verified this figure.

CMHO Dr. Madhav Prasad Hasani said lab tests confirmed water contamination due to pipeline leakage. Officials found the leak near a toilet built over the main supply line. More than 1,400 people have fallen ill in the area over nine days.

Addressing a public meeting in Namrup after laying the foundation stone of a ₹10,601 crore fertiliser plant, Modi said Congress cared only about power. He alleged that the party ignored Assam’s identity, land, and forests. According to him, Congress opposed voter list revision only to protect its political interests.

Modi said Congress governments failed to modernise old factories in Assam. He claimed outdated technology led to the closure of several industrial units. He added that the BJP’s double-engine government was correcting decades of neglect.

The Prime Minister stated that his government was committed to development and national security. He said efforts to improve Assam faced constant opposition from Congress.

Earlier in the day, Modi interacted with students on a Brahmaputra river cruise under the “Pariksha Pe Charcha” programme. Twenty-five students from various schools participated.

Modi also paid tribute to martyrs of the Assam Movement at Guwahati’s Shaheed Smarak. He honoured 860 people who sacrificed their lives opposing illegal infiltration. He reaffirmed his resolve to protect Assam’s culture, progress, and pride.
