In a recent statement, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has strongly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly spreading misinformation regarding the Jal Jeevan Mission, a central government initiative aimed at providing safe and adequate drinking water to rural households. Siddaramaiah accused the BJP of “peddling lies” to mislead the public about the progress and implementation of the mission in Karnataka.
Addressing the media, the Chief Minister emphasized the state government’s commitment to ensuring the success of the Jal Jeevan Mission, highlighting the achievements made under his administration. He urged the public to be wary of false narratives and to rely on verified information from credible sources.
This confrontation comes amid growing political tensions between the ruling Congress government in Karnataka and the BJP, which has been vocal about its criticisms of the state’s handling of various central schemes.
The Jal Jeevan Mission, launched in 2019, aims to provide functional household tap connections to every rural household by 2024, a target that has been a point of contention between the state and central governments.
