Bengal's dismal showing in the 2023 Swachh Survekshan survey has sparked outrage and raised questions about the result’s validity. But the state’s cities still fall far short on cleanliness.
Beyond political blame and jibes, the news of Patna’s ranking has more or less sunk without much of an informed debate among policy makers or the media in Bihar.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
The survey is politically biased. I have been to Kalyani, Bidhannagar, Durgapur, New Town, Vizag, Indore, Mumbai , Bangalore and New Delhi.. I can say that personally that
1. Gurgaon is more dirty and marred with construction work without any planning. Last week I visited Gurgaon and there was no access to Microsoft / Deloitte and Google offices due to unplanned construction work.. There was a time Gurgaon was clean and planned but not today . Same holds for Bangalore.
2. Indore is clean but the same level of cleanliness is available at Kalyani and Bidhannagar.. The persons questioning this assessment should visit both the towns / cities and then pass judgement. The cleaniless of the towns is however super passed by New Town which being a newer township is better planned and clean.
3. Vizag was the only place which I really find clean and highly recommended.
4. For mumbai and delhi they are overhyped as per cleanliness is concerned. Being metro they are at par with all other metros.
