NAGPUR: After other political parties, BJP too has launched an agitation against the poor supply of drinking water in the city. The agitation against the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is being led by the saffron party’s netas, especially former office bearers and corporators.
A month ago, Union minister Nitin Gadkari had claimed that 70% areas of the city are getting 24X7 water. In programmes organized by the civic body in February and March first week before the tenure of corporators ended, Gadkari, also city MP, had stated there has been no agitations in the city over water shortage in the last 5-10 years and even hailed the NMC as the country’s only civic body to have managed this success.
