'Problem is Management': Patel Criticised Congress
The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader also criticised the Chhattisgarh government. Taking a dig at the ruling Congress, he said the party has failed in hitting certain targets set by the Centre under the PM Awas scheme.
"The problem is management," he explained.
As per PTI,
Patel said, “The state government has been able to achieve only 23 percent work under Jal Jeevan Mission while the national average of target achievement under it is 50 percent."
There is no issue with water sources in Chhattisgarh, the Union minister continued, but Congress has failed at management.
