Veteran BJP leader Uma Bharti has sharply criticized the Madhya Pradesh government over deaths linked to contaminated drinking water in Indore. She described the incident as a "shame" and a test for Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's leadership, demanding a public apology and maximum punishment for all responsible. Bharti highlighted the contrast between Indore's 'cleanest city' status and the reported "ugliness, filth and poisoned water" that claimed lives, stating that families' grief cannot be compensated by monetary amounts.
