Shining Gujarat? State of affairs in Narendra Modi's own constituency: poor quality water available one hour per day
by Guest Tue Apr 29, 2014 9:00 am
In her modest home at Millatnagar in Maninagar assembly constituency — represented by BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi — Zubeida Ansari, 45, has been waiting for potable water, a proper drainage system and roads for 25 years. She lives in this Muslim locality with her husband, three sons and two daughters.
Not very far away is the RSS’s Gujarat headquarters, K B Hedgewar Bhawan on Baliakaka Road, where Modi stayed for more than two decades during the initial days of his political career.
“The municipal water that comes only once in the morning for an hour is not fit for washing clothes and bathing, leave alone drinking. Due to corrosion and a complete breakdown of the old drainage pipes, sewage gets mixed in this water,” says Zubeida.
Maninagar has seen infrastructure projects such as BRTS, flyover, malls and hotels coming up in the last 12 years, but pockets like Millatnagar that do not fall under the BJP’s vote bank have been ignored, say local residents. Zubeida says that the “developed” areas of Maninagar get water twice a day. “We have complained to the authorities, but nothing has happened except that things have gone from bad to worse,” she adds.
