Madhya Pradesh Congress President Jitendra (Jitu) Patwari stated that the party will organise a protest march from Bada Ganpati to the Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar statue in Indore on January 11, in the wake of a spike in deaths caused by contaminated drinking water in the Bhagirathpura area of the city.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Jitendra (Jitu) Patwari said, "The kind of corruption that has happened in the Indore Municipal Corporation has led to the deaths of 16 people. The in-charge minister here, Mohan Yadav, is primarily responsible for this. He is the most guilty; as the in-charge minister, he hasn`t held even a single meeting here. He has turned Indore into a den of corruption. The Urban Administration Minister should resign, and accountability should be fixed... Why shouldn`t a case of culpable homicide not be registered against those who were responsible for this?... It is our duty to appeal from Indore that come, let`s end this arrogance, we will march on January 11 from Bada Ganpati to till Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar statue."
