Water Water Everywhere, Not a Drop to Drink

To celebrate Maha Shivratri, the BJP Government in Karnataka transported large quantities of Gangajal (Holy Water) at taxpayers expense which was distributed among devotees in various temples across the state.

In response to this, ER Ramachandran writes:

Why do we waste lakhs of rupees bringing in Gangajal when we cannot supply Cauvery water even to people in Mysore, located 18 km from the Cauvery, on a regular basis for drinking purposes? 50,000 gallons of Gangajal was brought to the State at a cost of Rs 2.5 lakh. What moksha will people get by having the prokshane of Gangajal on them when they cannot get water to quench their thirst or when their children have to sit under the scorching sun in a school because of a “regime-change”?
