Pawan Kalyan said rivers are the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh and support farming, drinking water, and livelihoods. He warned that pollution, excessive water usage, and falling groundwater levels are creating serious problems in many regions. Pawan Kalyan also asked citizens to take part in water conservation efforts and use water responsibly.

The Deputy CM highlighted steps like rainwater harvesting, wastewater reuse, and watershed development projects. The state government has also launched a 100-day water conservation drive to spread awareness and improve groundwater levels in villages.

Speaking through a post on X, Kharge said Prime Minister Modi frequently promotes the Jal Jeevan Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. However, he alleged that the Prime Minister did not respond when contaminated water claimed lives in Indore. According to him, silence at such a time reflects governance failure.

Notably, Indore recently retained its title as India’s cleanest city for the eighth consecutive year under the Swachh Sarvekshan survey. Yet, Kharge said residents in parts of the city now struggle to access safe drinking water. He described the situation as shameful and blamed the BJP’s “incompetence” for the crisis.

Furthermore, Kharge alleged that the BJP-led government has delivered only speeches and empty promises over the past 11 years. He said ministers often intimidate journalists instead of answering tough questions. According to him, the ruling party uses state machinery to hide misgovernance.

The Congress chief also claimed corruption has tainted major government schemes. He pointed out that funds under the Jal Jeevan Mission include allocations for water purification, yet contamination continues to occur. As a result, ordinary citizens suffer the most.

At least 10 people have died in the Bhagirathpura area of Indore due to a diarrhoea outbreak linked to contaminated water. Meanwhile, more than 1,400 residents have reported vomiting and diarrhoea over the past nine days.

Earlier, Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr. Madhav Prasad Hasani confirmed laboratory tests showed contamination in the local drinking water supply. Officials later found a leakage in the main pipeline near a police outpost, where a toilet had been constructed.

Kharge concluded that the Modi government has failed to ensure basic rights. Clean water and clean air, he said, are necessities, not political slogans.

He said Sathya Sai Baba transformed the drought-hit Anantapur region by providing safe drinking water. According to him, the Jal Jeevan Mission launched under Prime Minister Modi drew inspiration from Sai Baba’s water projects. He praised Sai Baba for choosing a backward district like Anantapur as his birthplace. He said the region gained global recognition because of him.

Pawan added that Sathya Sai Baba influenced many people across the world. He mentioned that a senior IAS officer travels to Puttaparthi during holidays to offer service. He said devotees from several countries continue to follow Sai Baba’s teachings. Many of them regularly visit India to take part in activities.

He also noted that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was inspired by Sathya Sai Baba’s messages. Pawan said the spiritual leader’s impact on society remains strong even today. He added that his teachings continue to guide millions.
