Summer this year marked five years of this promise – and it was one of the most water-scarce years that Marathwada has faced, Ramesh said.More than 600 villages and 178 hamlets in Marathwada were dependent on water tankers amidst an acute drinking water shortage, he said.”Only 19% drinking water was left in reservoirs. What has the BJP done to tackle water scarcity in Marathwada? Will the non-biological PM ever take responsibility for his and his party’s failures?” the Congress leader said.He also asked why the Indian Railways performed so poorly in the Nanded division.Railway infrastructure in Nanded division, which serves many areas in Marathwada, has been subjected to blatant neglect by the Modi government, he claimed.”According to data furnished by the South Central Railway (SCR) in 2021, Nanded has only 35km of route electrification and only 83km of track doubling.This puts it at the bottom in terms of electrification and only marginally ahead of the bottom in track doubling compared to other SCR divisions,” Ramesh said.
