NEW DELHI: Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and senior Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led government over the deaths linked to contaminated drinking water in Indore, calling the incident a “murder of the right to life” and accusing the administration of negligence, arrogance, and a complete failure of accountability.
In a post on X, LoP Gandhi said, “In Indore, there was no water — just poison being distributed, while the administration slumbered like Kumbhakarna.”
He said mourning had spread from home to home, with the poor left helpless. “Those whose hearths have gone cold needed solace; the government served up hubris instead, ” he added, criticising statements made by BJP leaders in the aftermath of the tragedy.
