The death of many innocent people due to Indore water contamination case is very sad and outrageous. This incident clearly shows that the negligence of the BJP government and the municipal corporation is now weighing on the lives of the people.
If water, which is the basis of life, becomes poison, where has the responsibility of the government gone? If people are dying from drinking dirty water in a so-called smart city like Indore, it is direct evidence of system failure. The government is busy with big advertisements and false development claims, but the ground truth is quite different.
The most shameful thing in the whole case was that the senior journalist who tried to bring out the truth was treated rudely and humiliated. Journalists are the fourth pillar of democracy, but the BJP government is trying to suppress them for fear of the voice that speaks the truth.
When questions are asked, instead of answering, they resort to intimidation and humiliation. This clearly shows that the government is running away from accountability and is also targeting the media to hide its failures.
The deaths from contaminated water are not an accident, but the result of government negligence. If the municipality had paid attention to pipelines, tanks and water purification in time, so many families would not be devastated today.
But the priority of the BJP-ruled municipal corporation is not the health of the people, but commissions and contracts. The poor, the workers and the common man are forced to suffer the blows of the system every time.

In protest against this negligence and injustice, the District and City Youth Congress in Indore took to the streets and surrounded the municipal corporation.
The Youth Congress workers made clear demands for strong action against the guilty officers, compensation to the families of the deceased and immediate improvement of the city’s water system. The demonstration was an attempt to break the government’s sleep by becoming the voice of the people.
The incident in Indore exposes the true face of the BJP government, where the drums of development are beaten but the system is rotten on the inside. Until the government is held accountable and understands the value of people’s lives, such incidents will continue to repeat themselves.
