00:00Okay, let's then give you my take.

00:03Indore has been consistently ranked India's cleanest city for eight consecutive years,

00:09which makes the criminal negligence that led to water contamination deaths in the city even more telling and worrying.

00:16If this happens with piped municipal water in Indore, think of other towns and cities in the country.

00:23The Modi government's smart city project has not been able to usher key urban governance reform yet,

00:30nor have state governments risen to the big challenge of our times.

00:35Worse still, as we have seen in Indore, accountability is a word that is simply not in the dictionary of our netas.

00:44Let me therefore ask a basic question to the netas and officials of Indore again,

00:50those who are in charge to ensure proper tendering.

00:54How many of you, I ask you again, how many of you will drink the water that a majority of common citizens have to live with?

01:04Kailash Vijay Vargya Ji, you're the strongman of Indore.

01:08Answer that question.

01:09The mayor of Indore, answer that question.

01:13The municipal commissioners and officials should answer that question.

01:17And when you answer that question, please do me a favor.

01:20For God's sake, don't blame Jawala Nehru for your failings today.

01:26Think about it.
