Well that backfired! Indian minister, 48, drinks dirty water from 'holy' river polluted with sewage to show locals it's safe... before he's rushed to hospital after falling ill

• Bhagwant Mann, chief minister of Punjab was showing off clean river water
• Mann bent over and filled a glass of water and drank it in front of supporters
• A few days after drinking the glass , Mann complained of severe stomach pains

 

An Indian minister who drank a glass of dirty water from a 'holy' river to prove to locals it's safe has been hospitalised after falling ill. 

Bhagwant Mann, Chief Minister of Punjab, was airlifted to New Delhi after downing the polluted water from the Kali Bein.

Video showing Mann scooping up a glass of water and downing the filthy liquid has since gone viral. 

 

Bhagwant Mann, Chief Minister of Punjab, was beside a holy man when he decided to demonstrate the cleanliness of the river

 

Mann confidentially bent over to fill his glass before publicly drinking the water taken straight from the river 

 

A couple of days after drinking the water, Mann started to complain of a stomach ache. 

He was taken to the Apollo Indraprastha Hospital in Sarita Vihar and was admitted overnight . 

Medics said Mann had developed an infection and was treated by a multi-disciplinary team. 

According to New Indian Express, as soon as medics completed a range of tests on the minister before he was released from hospital.

Disgusting! He's also rolling out a new initiative to clean up Panjab's rivers.

The state of rivers in Panjab is very saddening. Ravi river is the most polluted in the world (although most of it falls in Pakistan today).

If this stunt is anything to go by......I'm wondering if he even has enough brains to understand what the problem is? 

Why don't we have smart, intelligent people as leaders? After all of the debacle of voting Badals for decades (and that too with bribes of alcohol), it looks like pendus would now vote anyone who is a minor celebrity (especially singers) into power?????? The mind boggles.   

The worlds getting more and more intense in various ways, if we keep voting dimwits and boliyan-paaing folks in, the writing is on the wall for us.

Our community really lacks educated/intellectual people. By educated, I don't mean having a PhD or speaking English but people who really understand our issues, how to approach them and think long term. 

Many of our people think about short term benefits. They seriously need to understand the long term implications of their actions and behaviour.

Organisations break down goals into 3 levels, strategic (very long term, and general), tactical (medium term and more specific actions and structures put in place) and operational (day to day activities that help realise the previous goals/aims). Our lot don't have ANY solid strategic goal let alone trying to put in place and develop norms in our society to realise them. 

Seems really thicko when you compare to other more developed people.

Well explained. I can't emphasise this enough but majority of Panjabis/Sikhs are driven by short-term gains. Many of the problems facing Panjab's environment and people are a result of their own actions and lack of ability to focus on the long term future.

I've had to do a shortish course lately, and I noticed how certain people in the class, are always trying to take the p1ss out of others and giggling. Then later on, when tests/exams come, you realise they have 'special needs' that make it really hard for them to pass without someone holding their hand. What, back when I was growing up, in less politically correct times, was referred to as being 'an 1diot' or a 'm0ron;'.  

I've worked with desis on and off quite a bit over the years. Most have exactly that same giggly, snide two-faced thing going on. I think we may have a high preponderance of 'special needs' people in our rural community?

Our people should have never participated in that green revolution nonsense now we dont even have enough drinkable water. People talk about development when they wont even have drinkable water and good food in the future.

But they feel proud of themselves by making songs about how great they are and dancing around like clowns. Just look at the songs they release on youtube  and how they praise themselves to be the best people on the face of the planet. Literally what a joke. YouTube videos from punjab are full of either people telling other punjabis how to get out of punjab or songs about how great they are. Then they will talk about punjabis taking over the world literally jokes. Just running all over the world doesnt mean you are going to take over the world.

The likes of this useless comedian and their pathetic families have ruined the image of sikhi. Sikhi gave them discipline and how to live their lives with honor but these people ruined everything and now they are nothing in this world. Literally punjabis without sikhi are a useless people.

The Green Revolution was anything but "green" long term.  Panjab had far more crop diversity prior, people had enough in their farms and never had to purchase chemical-infested fruit & veg from outside. Villages used to be very self-sustainable. 

Now, 2 or 3 crops have taken over all of Panjab, especially rice. I don't know why they don't realise Panjab doesn't have the environment nor water to manage it long-term.
