Ganga is dirty despite spending 20 thousand crores in 10 years… Congress bent Modi government

Polling for the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections will also take place in Varanasi on June 1, but ahead of that, politics over the Ganga has intensified. The Congress has alleged that over Rs 20,000 crore has been spent in the name of cleaning the Ganges in the last 10 years but the results are not visible on the ground. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh shared a lengthy post on social media X in this regard and said that the National Ganga Council has met only twice in the last ten years. No meeting on Ganga after 2022. Jairam Ramesh said that Ganga has become more polluted than last year 2014. He said that earlier there were 51 polluted areas here and now it has increased to 66. Antibiotic resistant bacteria have started to appear in the water here. In February this year, a report by the Bihar government came out saying that the Ganga water is not suitable for bathing and crops in the fields. On June 1, polling will take place in the ancient and holy city of Varanasi. Narendra Modi, its MP for 10 years, has spent 10 years promising to revive the Ganges.
