Sadhvi Pragya Stokes Fresh Controversy

Stoking a fresh controversy BJP MP from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur on Sunday said that she had not been elected as a Parliamentarian to clean drains and toilets. The statement has been sternly criticized by the Congress party, which, it said, has "exposed" the "hollowness" of the BJP's flagship 'Swachh Bharat' campaign.

"We have not been elected to clean your drains or toilets. I have said this in the past and I am repeating it now,” she said, apparently tossing aside the clean India campaign.
