Cabinet Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya had made controversial remarks regarding the contaminated water tragedy in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. After this, Congress opposed the BJP leader’s remarks by making several serious allegations against him. Now a Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) has been suspended for allegedly mentioning all this in a government order.

This SDM was from Dewas, who was suspended on Sunday (January 4). Officials have informed that Ujjain Division Commissioner (Revenue) Ashish Singh has suspended an SDM of Dewas on charges of serious negligence, indifference and irregularities in the discharge of official duties.

He said that the SDM had issued a government order on Saturday to impose duty on subordinate revenue officers to maintain law and order in view of a protest organized by the Congress in Dewas on Sunday, January 4.

A senior official said, “In this order issued by the SDM, a part of the Congress memorandum which the main opposition party had given to the administration for prior information about the protest was copied exactly. This is serious negligence.

In the Congress memorandum, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of the state was targeted over the drinking water tragedy of Indore and it was said that Vijayvargiya’s use of the indecent word ‘Ghanta’ in reply to a journalist’s question is a sign of ‘inhumanity and autocracy’.

Citing the instructions of State Congress President Jitu Patwari, it was also said in the memorandum that a protest will be held by ringing ‘bells’ in front of the residences of BJP MPs and MLAs against this ‘inhuman behaviour’.

The protest was organized in protest against the death of people due to contaminated drinking water in Bhagirathpura area of ​​Indore and Vijayvargiya’s controversial comment on a TV journalist’s question about this tragedy.

Kailash Vijayvargiya had created a controversy by using the word ‘Ghanta’ in front of the camera when a TV journalist asked a question about the drinking water tragedy in Indore on the night of 31 December. In common parlance, this word is broadly understood to mean nonsense.

The administration has so far confirmed the death of six people in the outbreak of vomiting and diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water in the city. However, Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava had said on January 2 that he had received information about the death of 10 people in the incident. Local people have claimed that 16 people, including a six-month-old child, died due to drinking contaminated water.

Madhya Pradesh’s Urban Development and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya has once again come into controversy regarding the issue of contaminated drinking water. When the media asked questions on the outbreak of diarrhea due to contaminated water in Bhagirathpura area of ​​Indore. The minister lost his temper and used objectionable words in front of the camera. Later, when the controversy escalated, he also expressed regret for his statement.

Bhagirathpura area comes in Indore-1 assembly constituency of Vijayvargiya. According to the Health Department, so far four people have died due to drinking contaminated water, while 212 people have fallen ill. Of these, 50 patients have been discharged from the hospital after treatment. The media had asked questions to the minister regarding this serious situation.

Video of Vijayvargiya’s objectionable words goes viral

According to the information, Vijayvargiya was initially answering the questions calmly, but when he was asked why the bills of the patients undergoing treatment in private hospitals were not paid and why arrangements for clean drinking water could not be made till now, he became angry. During this time, while arguing with a journalist, he said objectionable words. Its video quickly went viral on social media.

I and my team have been continuously working to improve the situation in the affected area without sleeping for the last two days. My people are suffering from contaminated water and some have left us, in this state of deep sorrow my words came out wrong on a question from the media. For this I express my regret.

but when…

What did the Municipal Corporation Commissioner say?

Indore Corporation Commissioner Dilip Kumar Yadav expressed grief over the incident and said that the Municipal Corporation is working on every front since morning regarding this incident. After the dirty water crisis in Bhagirathpura, the Municipal Corporation is working with full caution. Investigation has revealed leakage in the main line below the toilet adjacent to the post.

Due to this leakage, there was a danger of contaminated water getting into the pipeline. On the instructions of Commissioner Dilip Kumar Yadav, repair work was started immediately. After the improvement work, flushing, chlorination and sample testing will be done first. Water supply will be restored in the area only when the water lab report is completely satisfactory. The Commissioner has said that no compromise will be made with public health.

MP Government Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s statement regarding urban development and city administration has created a stir in the political circles. During a regional review meeting of urban development held in Bhopal, Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said in clear words that in the past many announcements were made due to political compulsions, but now it has become a big challenge to implement those announcements on the ground. The minister also admitted that adequate budget is required from the central government to carry forward many schemes related to urban development.

Kailash Vijayvargiya said that urbanization is increasing rapidly and along with it the demand for civic facilities has also increased continuously. In such a situation, it is the priority of the state government to fulfill the basic needs like roads, water supply, sewerage, housing and traffic.

However, he also indicated that it is not easy to complete all the schemes on time with only state resources and this requires the cooperation of the Central Government. Political analysts are linking this statement of the minister with the pace of schemes and budget management in the coming times.

Government is not able to fulfill the promises made to the public – Congress

After the statement of Minister Vijayvargiya, the opposition has directly attacked the government. Congress spokesperson Abhinav Barolia said that the BJP government had come to power by making big promises and announcements, but now it is not able to fulfill the promises made to the public.

Calling it a question on “Modi’s guarantee”, he said that it is clear from the minister’s statement that the government now seems incapable of providing basic facilities to the public. Abhinav Barolia said that there is a big difference between the claims made at the time of elections and the reality.

BJP rejected Congress’s allegations

Whereas BJP has completely rejected the allegations of Congress. BJP spokesperson Ajay Yadav said that Congress is doing politics unnecessarily. He claimed that no public welfare scheme has been stopped in the BJP government and the state government and the central government are continuously working together in the interest of the public. Ajay Yadav advised Congress to remember the “divided government” of its tenure and said that instead of doing politics on the issue of development, there should be positive cooperation.

Overall, Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s statement has once again brought the ongoing preparations for urban development, budget challenges and political allegations and counter-allegations into focus. Now it remains to be seen how the government deals with these challenges in the coming times and to what extent it is able to fulfill the promises made to the public.

Madhya Pradesh Government Cabinet Minister and Municipal Administration Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya gave a big statement in the regional meeting of urban development held in Bhopal. He said that due to political compulsions, fulfilling the announcements made has now become a big challenge for the states. He stressed the need for adequate budgetary support from the Central Government for urban development and described the current financial situation as serious.

Government’s thinking on urban development and target of 2047

Kailash Vijayvargiya said that whenever the Prime Minister talks about the future of the country, his concern about urbanization is clearly visible. The Prime Minister’s goal is that India should become a developed country by 2047 and the role of cities will be most important in this. He said that cities will have to sit in the driving seat and take responsibility for the development of their surrounding areas. The minister said that he has been the minister of the same department before and since then, large scale schemes and funds have been coming from the central government, for which the administrative capacity has had to be continuously increased.

Political compulsions and deteriorating budget balance

Minister Vijayvargiya said in clear words that the condition of the state budget has become very bad. The biggest reason behind this is political compulsions, due to which many big commitments are made during elections. He said that it has now become difficult to get the amount of budget required to fulfill these announcements. The Minister reiterated that due to this, there are problems in development works and the states have to look towards the Central Government with hopeful eyes.

Amrit Yojana, Self-reliant Municipal Corporation and Solar Energy

Referring to Amrit Yojana, Kailash Vijayvargiya said that many works under this scheme are incomplete in almost all the states of the country. He told that the budget received by the cities has reduced by about 70 percent and about 30 percent of the work is still pending. In such a situation, if the Central Government cooperates, then these schemes can be completed. The minister also mentioned the efforts being made towards a self-reliant municipal corporation. He told that through the property mapping system, property tax has increased by about 150 percent. Along with this, solar energy is being adopted in the energy sector and its own solar plant of about 250 MW capacity is being prepared, which will enable a major reduction in the electricity expenditure of the states.

The cabinet led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav in Madhya Pradesh has approved helicopter service within the state on Tuesday (September 23) under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in collaboration with private operators. Its objective is to provide affordable helicopter service for major cities, religious places, national parks and tourist places.

After the cabinet meeting, Urban Administration Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya told the media that private operators will provide helicopter service at selected places between airports, helipads and airstrips across the state.

This will facilitate the movement of passengers, tourists, businessmen, investors and common citizens. This initiative will promote trade and tourism activities in the state and new employment opportunities will also be created.

Revised cost approval for Satpura Thermal Power Plant

In addition, the cabinet was approached for Rs 11,678.74 crore of Satpura Thermal Power Plant at Table and Rs 11,476.31 crore of Amarkantak Thermal Power Plant of Chachai. According to an official statement, both projects will be financed in 20:80 parties and loans. The state government will provide a share of Rs 684.53 crore for the Satpura project and Rs 699.90 crore for the Amarkantak project. The power generation company will arrange the remaining amount from its sources.

Senior resident doctors will be recruited

These posts have been created in Autonomous Medical Colleges of Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Rewa, Satna, Vidisha, Ratlam, Khandwa, Shahdol, Shivpuri, Datia and Chhindwara.

Vijayvargiya said, “This decision will ensure the operation of medical colleges according to national standards. Also, postgraduate students will be able to do senior residentship in their own institute, so that qualified medical teachers in non-clinical and para-clinical subjects will also be available. ”

Indore Municipal Corporation of Madhya Pradesh has removed the new name signboards of roads in Muslim -dominated areas. It is alleged that these signboards are disputed as these routes have been nominated illegally. Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s son and BJP leader Akash Vijayvargiya had objected to this and said that the names of the roads are related to ‘special religion’.

In fact, Akash Vijayvargiya wrote a letter to Municipal Corporation Commissioner Shivam Verma, through which it was claimed that some roads of Chandan Nagar are signed by ‘special religion’. This illegal changed signboard has been installed without administration knowledge.

Mayor talks about action against ward councilor
BJP leader Akash Vijayvargiya also warned the Municipal Corporation Commissioner that if these signboards are not removed immediately, there will be a fierce movement. When the matter caught fire, Mayor of Indore Pushyamitra Bhargava said on Thursday (August 21) that legal action will be taken against the ward councilor.

Councilor rejected all allegations
At the same time, councilor’s husband Rafiq Khan says that all these allegations are wrong. His wife has not allowed a new name of roads in Muslim -dominated areas. He claimed that two years ago, the Municipal Corporation was requested to install signboards with the names of roads as it is difficult for people to find the address. After this, taking action, the Municipal Corporation itself set up new signboards on the basis of the names that have been going on for forty years.

What was written on sign board
Among the boards that the Municipal Corporation has removed from Chandan Nagar, there were two names of the same road. Along with ‘Sakina Manzil Road’, ‘Chandan Nagar Sector-B ward number two’ was also written on a board. Similarly, ‘Loha Gate Road’ was written with ‘Raza Gate’. Locals say that these boards are installed to help the common people. These paths are known by both names. If a name is removed, then people will have difficulty in reaching the right place.

In Indore, the cabinet minister and senior BJP leader of Madhya Pradesh government Kailash Vijayvargiya, while addressing the stage in his constituency on Sunday, openly expressed his opinion on social issues. He made a strict statement on matters like Love Jihad, especially about women and daughters, expressing concern about women and daughters.

During the program, Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said that nowadays our daughters are falling prey to love jihad. Jihadi youths are ruining their lives by befriending them. In such a situation, it is important that we should give good values to our daughters and make them aware. He further said that daughters should get information about that person and his family before befriending anyone.

What did the minister say about Sonam?

Giving an example, he mentioned Sonam, a young woman from his own constituency and said that what Sonam did is only the result of lack of rites. His parents today have to hide their mouths in the society without mistake, just because they did not give enough rites to their daughter.

The minister appealed to the people that it is the responsibility of every parent to give daughters strong moral grounds and to warn them in time. He reiterated that only good values keep children on the right path.
