Rajendra Singh, the Waterman of India, has accused Narendra Modi of doing “nothing” in the past four-and-a-half years for the critical Ganga and playing divisive politics with the national river. “While blood circulation is the issue with the Ganga’s health, the government is treating its teeth,” the Magsaysay winner and former member of the National Ganga River Basin Authority told The Telegraph in Calcutta. Singh is visiting Bengal as part of his Ganga Sadbhavana Yatra, which will cover 2,250km in 11 states through which the Ganga flows. According to Snehal Donde and Sanjay Agarwal, senior associates of Rajendra Singh, the Ganga Sadbhavana Yatra initiated from Gomukh in October is set to conclude on January 12 at Ganga Sagar. Moreover, we also want to point out that all have equal rights over the Ganga,” Rajendra Singh said.
