Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his handling of pending projects within the Namami Gange scheme. Kharge accused the government of failing to efficiently utilize funds allocated for the project and not meeting the set deadlines. The Congress leader pointed to a government response in the Rajya Sabha that revealed alarming percentages of unfinished work under the Namami Gange initiative. The scheme, aimed at cleaning and rejuvenating the Ganga river, has faced scrutiny for delays and incomplete projects. Kharge’s comments come amidst growing concerns about the slow progress of the ambitious project that holds significant importance for environmental conservation and cultural heritage in India. The criticism from the opposition leader underscores the need for the government to expedite efforts and ensure effective implementation of the Namami Gange scheme to achieve its intended objectives. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration will likely face increased pressure to address the shortcomings highlighted by Kharge and demonstrate tangible progress in fulfilling the promises made under the Ganga rejuvenation program. The ongoing debate over the effectiveness of the Namami Gange project reflects the broader discussion on environmental sustainability and the government’s commitment to addressing critical ecological challenges in the country.
