PM Modi said the previous governments at the Centre and in UP left no stone unturned in devastating the Bundelkhand region turn by turn.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused the previous state and central governments of devastating the Bundelkhand region by handing over its resources and forests to mafia elements who "looted" them.
"The governments which had been there in Delhi and UP left no stone unturned in devastating this region turn by turn," Prime Minister said in Mahoba while inaugurating a slew of projects aimed at ending the water scarcity in the parched Bundelkhand region.
"It is not hidden from anyone that the jungles and resources were handed over to the mafia. The manner in which these people behaved with Bundelkhand will not be forgotten by the people here," he said.
"A lot was said and done in the name of "nalkoop" and hand pumps but earlier governments did not tell how water could be made available in the absence of groundwater," the Prime Minister pointed out.
