He blames BJP 
He also held the BJP goverment responsible for this, saying the government is indifferent towards the issues of air and water pollution. 

"The main reason for this is the indifference of the BJP government towards air and water pollution. Through its corrupt policies, the BJP has polluted the political environment and has also become a threat to the environment of social harmony and ecology. When the BJP itself has become a problem, then how will it solve any problem." Mr Yadav quipped. 

Dynamite News reported that an epidemic may hit the Khajni tehsil area due to concerns over consuming fish from the contaminated Ami River.
