Govt, Oppn in war of words over performance of Jal Shakti ministry
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|March 20, 2025
DURING the discussion on demand for grants for Jal Shakti ministry in Lok Sabha, the Opposition parties and the ruling government on Wednesday traded charges over the budgetary allocation and the performance of the ministry.
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.
