Despite claims of development and a "double-engine government" by the ruling party, the condition of the river has deteriorated, Mahesh Parmar emphasized.
In a bold act of protest against the pollution of the Shipra River, Congress' Ujjain Lok Sabha seat candidate Mahesh Parmar on Tuesday took a dip in the river and sat in the overflowing drain water entering the river.
Mahesh Parmar expressed his determination to clean up the river and restore its purity.
"Today, after taking a dip in the Shipra River, I took a vow that until the Shipra River is purified and the discharge of sewage into it is stopped, I will fight for Shipra Maa till my last breath. I request the people of Ujjain that this is a matter of honour and pride for Ujjain. Please come to the streets and fight for this cause," Mahesh Parmar said.
