Rewa (Madhya Pradesh): Janardan Mishra, local Parliamentarian, has ‘advised’ people at a workshop here on conservation of water to drink liquor and eat gutkha, among other things, to save water.

The BJP MP said at the workshop on Sunday, “Lands are drying up and need to be saved. Chew, drink liquor, smoke weed, eat adhesive (sulesan) or ‘iodex’, but understand the importance of water,” reported NDTV.

He further told the participants, “If the government decides to waive the water tax, stress that you would pay the tax. The government could waive the other taxes, instead, including your electricity bills.”

A video of Mishra’s words at the Krishnaraj Kapoor Auditorium, the venue of the workshop, has gone viral on social media.

Prior to this too, Mishra made news on multiple occasions due to such unexpected statements. A video had gone viral recently too, where he was seen cleaning a toilet with his bare hands.

Dispur: In the backdrop of the BJP-led NDA’s sweeping win in the Assam elections on Monday, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma hit out at the Congress party, picking senior leader of the rival party Pawan Khera who had alleged that Sarma’s wife had multiple passports.

Speaking to BJP activists and reporters after the poll results were announced, the CM opined that Khera should no longer hold the position of spokesperson in the Congress, adding, “The people of Assam have Pawan Khera eat ‘pera’.”

Sarma, who called the people’s mandate in the state both historic and emotional, said, “The state’s image had started changing since 2016, under the influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Assam is now being considered a development-orientated state because of them.”

Commenting on the Congress leadership, the CM said that the people believed the BJP’s allegations during the campaign. “Congress leaders, however, faced rejection from their own communities,” he claimed and added that the BJP government would continue raising certain issues even after the elections.
