At a public meeting in Kendrapara, Odisha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a significant promise to ensure tap water supply to every household in Delhi. He drew a comparison with the situation in Odisha, where he claimed that not all households have access to tap water.
“Modi is working towards providing tap water to every house in Delhi,” the Prime Minister stated, referring to himself in the third person. He then highlighted the disparity in Odisha, saying, “Here not everyone has got tap water.”
The Prime Minister’s comments come in the backdrop of increasing concerns over water scarcity and quality in many parts of the country. His pledge to ensure tap water for every household in Delhi is seen as a major commitment towards addressing these challenges.
In his address, PM Modi also launched a scathing attack on the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), the ruling party in Odisha. He said, “Odisha is voting to change this situation. Odisha is also voting to end the loot of BJD.”
The Prime Minister’s criticism of the BJD suggests a heated political contest in the state. His remarks are likely to shake up the political dynamics in Odisha, where the BJP has been trying to gain a foothold.
The rally in Kendrapara is part of the Prime Minister’s campaign trail as he seeks to strengthen support for the BJP in the state. His focus on basic amenities like water supply underscores the central government’s commitment to development and infrastructure.
As the political climate heats up in Odisha, it will be interesting to see how the BJD responds to PM Modi’s remarks and what impact they will have on the voters.
