LoP in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi meets a patient undergoing treatment after alleged consumption of contaminated water, at Bombay Hospital, in Indore. (@INCIndia/X via PTI Photo) NEW DELHI/INDORE: The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, today met the families of the victims who died due to the consumption of contaminated drinking water in Indore and also those who are undergoing treatment in hospital.Gandhi accused the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh of criminal negligence over the deaths and illnesses caused by contaminated drinking water in the Bhagirathpura area of Indore, saying the government must take responsibility and ensure compensation and assistance to the affected families.Cleanliness Crown Cracks As Indore Loses 13 Lives To Poisoned Water And Administrative LapsesAfter meeting the victims and their families, Gandhi said access to clean drinking water remains a serious issue in the country even today. He alleged that the failure to provide safe drinking water and control pollution reflected the government’s inability to discharge its basic responsibilities.Several people have died and many others have fallen ill after consuming contaminated water in the area, he noted, adding that such incidents were a direct consequence of administrative negligence. “The affected families must be given proper compensation and support,” he demanded.Quoting local residents, the Congress leader said there was still no assured supply of clean drinking water in Bhagirathpura, and that alternative arrangements were temporary and largely symbolic. He warned that once public attention faded, the situation could revert to its earlier state. Residents, he said, were demanding a permanent and systematic solution, which was fully justified.Gandhi said that as Leader of the Opposition, it was his duty to raise the concerns of the affected families and stand with them in their struggle for basic civic amenities.He also questioned the implementation of the Smart City scheme, remarking that this appeared to be the new model of a “Smart City” where citizens did not even have access to clean drinking water. The problem, he said, was not limited to Indore but was prevalent in many cities across the country.Later, in a post on X, Gandhi alleged that the BJP’s “double-engine government” model was marked by poisoned water, air, medicine and land, and that when questions were raised, bulldozers were deployed instead of accountability. He said no one was held responsible for the deaths of the poor, and demanded punishment for those responsible, along with proper treatment and immediate compensation for the victims.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘BJP Won By Betrayal’: Uddhav Thackeray’s First Reaction On Mumbai Civic Poll ResultsShashi Tharoor Sees Hope Amid Iran Silence, Warns Of Uncertainty As Protests Slow Under BlackoutPM Modi Targets Mamata, Declares ‘Asli Poribortan’ In Malda, Says Bengal Needs BJP For Development‘Protecting Rohingyas And Bangladeshis’: BJP MP Sambit Patra Slams Bengal CM Mamata BanerjeePM Modi Flags Off India’s First Vande Bharat Sleeper Train Between Howrah-Guwahati In BengalEurope Looks East As Italian Envoy Bartoli Calls India Key Partner Amid Global Chaos And Trade WarsWhy Donald Trump’s Gaza Peace Board Has Indian-Origin Former Banker And Padma Shri Ajay BangaArunachal Pradesh: 1 Tourist Dead, Another Missing As Ice Cracks On Frozen Sela LakeReza Pahlavi Highlights India As Key Partner For A Democratic Iran In Energy Technology And TradePakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Vows To Defeat Terrorism Amid Lashkar And Jaish’s Terror Threats To India123Photostories10 fiber-rich broccoli dishes for a filling dinnerFrom a luxurious house worth Rs 2.5 crore in Mumbai to car collection- Sunil Grover’s lavish lifestyleWinter Special: How to make Spinach Rice for dinnerTravel influencer Shenaz Treasury recommends these 6 places women must travel to in 2026; safe, stunning and solo-friendlyBigg Boss Tamil 9: From wild card to finalist—Divya’s emotional and eventful journey inside the house5 places around the world that witness the largest animal gatherings’Border 2′: Real life inspirations for Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh’s roles revealed7 simple habits to make kids respect and listen to you10 traditional and regional Indian biscuits perfect for evening chaiJim Carrey birthday special: Top films streaming on OTT you should not miss123Hot PicksMaharashtra Election ResultsBudget 2026Gold rate todayBank holiday todayVande Bharat sleeperPublic holidays January 2026Bank Holidays JanuaryTop TrendingGracie HuntTravis KelceU19 World CupRyan O’ReillyLebron JamesMaharashtra Civic Poll WinnersConnor McDavidBengaluru EngineerMegan Thee StallionRafael Nadal Net Worth
