Kailash Vijayvargiya, senior BJP leader from Madhya Pradesh, is the latest in the party to make critical comments against the State’s bureaucracy and government machinery.
Mr. Vijayvargiya on Thursday questioned the “undue credit” that government officials get for making Indore the cleanest city of India. He was referring to the annual cleanliness survey conducted by the Central government, in which Indore has been bagging the first prize for the past six years.
Addressing participants at a felicitation ceremony for sanitation workers, Mr. Vijayvargiya said that if someone deserved praise, it was the sanitation workers and the people of Indore, in that order, and there was no point in “giving massages to officials”.
