While initiating the discussion, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal questioned why opposition-ruled states of Jharkhand, Kerala, and West Bengal are lagging behind in providing clean drinking water to rural households under the government's flagship Jal Jeevan Mission.

He also questioned the opposition's commitment to ensuring safe drinking water for all.

"If you are truly committed to providing safe drinking water, then why are these states still behind," Pal asked.
