Modi will spread untruths on Namami Ganga project during Bihar visit: Congress

Patna, June 19 (UNI) Congress on Thursday expressed apprehension that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would spread "only untruths" on the Namami Ganga project in Bihar during his visit to the state on Friday, as the initiative has "completely failed" in achieving its target.
Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) chief Rajesh Ram told media persons here the project's failure has forced the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to express its "grave concern" over the pollution level in Ganga and also slap a fine of Rs 50,000 on the state government for the lapses committed in the execution of the project.
Ram said PM Modi was scheduled to visit the state and address a function in Siwan. During the function, Modi would also inaugurate a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Digha in Patna, but the pollution level of the Ganga river has "exposed the failures" of the Nitish Kumar government in properly executing the Namami Ganga project and it was also pointed out by the National Green Tribunal.
