    'Chew tobacco, drink alcohol': BJP MP's bizarre 'water conservation' remarks
    BJP MP Janardan Mishra's remarks came at a workshop organized at Rewa's Krishnaraj Kapoor Auditorium on Sunday

    Janardan Mishra, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Madhya Pradesh's Rewa, recently made some bizarre remarks regarding water conservation that have been turning heads. While speaking at a water conservation workshop in Rewa, the BJP leader told people they can drink alcohol, smoke weed, chew tobacco, or smell thinner, but they "must understand" the significance of water as the lands are "running dry."

    BJP MP Mishra's bizarre statement

    The aforementioned workshop was reportedly organized on Sunday at Rewa's Krishnaraj Kapoor Auditorium to raise awareness among locals. Addressing the attendees, Mishra was quoted as saying by news agency ANI, "Lands are running dry of water, it must be saved. Either eat gutka, consume liquor, smell thinner, sulesan (a kind of adhesive), or eat Iodex (pain balm) but understand the importance of water (sic)."

    When Mishra cleaned a toilet with his bare hands

    However, this is not Mishra's first time in the spotlight for doing something strange, as he is widely known for his eccentric actions. To recall, in September, the BJP MP made headlines when he was seen cleaning a toilet at a girls' school in Khatkhari, Rewa, with bare hands. Mishra even shared a video of him cleaning the toilet on his official Twitter handle.

    'Should maintain cleanliness': Mishra

    When asked why he cleaned the toilet with bare hands, Mishra at the time said he did so to motivate people toward "cleanliness." "Everybody should maintain cleanliness. From Mahatma Gandhi to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they have given the message of cleanliness," he had said. Back in 2018, too, Mishra cleaned a toilet at a school and a video of it went viral.

    Madhya Pradesh's water woes

    Meanwhile, earlier this year, Madhya Pradesh's Urban Administration and Development (UAD) Department said that numerous parts of the state faced a significant water crisis. The water supply in as many as 53 municipal bodies in the state faced a gap of one day, while numerous others received water supply in a gap of two days, the department had said.
