BJP govt turning blind eye to water, fodder scarcity: Pilot

Rajasthan Congress President Sachin Pilot today accused the state's BJP government of turning a blind eye to scarcity of water and fodder, terming it as the cause behind the death of numerous cattle.
"BJP takes political advantage in the name of cows but when it comes to serving them, the party ignores and turns its back," he alleged.
Pilot, who visited villages in Sawaimadhopur and Karauli districts, said many bovines were dying in those places due to lack of water and fodder.
He alleged animal deaths were caused by the "insensitivity" of the government, and demanded that proper arrangements be made.

"Heat is at its peak but the government has taken no step to provide relief to people as well as cattle. No arrangement of water and fodder has been done in Sawaimadhopur which is causing death of around 100 cows every day," he alleged.
He claimed that in Barmer and Jaisalmer, nearly 20,000 bovine animals have died in summer.
