71% of households in Kerala have their own private wells. Almost all have water pumps attached to it that suctions up to fill the water tank on the roof. The water is very sweet and soft. Only 14% of households in Kerala have piped water coming to their homes. In many other States where households get water through hand pumps and public taps. While campaigning in Pathanamthitta for the 2021 assembly elections in Kerala, #Modi claimed in a speech: "Access to drinking water is a problem in Kerala, Only 25 per cent of Kerala households had tap water supply before we started the Jal Jeevan Mission, Since it began, almost 20 per cent households all over India got access to tap water connections. I'm sad to share that in Kerala, the number is only 4.5 per cent. The reason for this slow progress is the poor attitude of the state government! I want to tell the state government in Kerala-please, take all credit, but don't make people suffer!" This would have struck many as surprising- why was a developed state doing so badly on drinking water? The answer lay on page sixty-five of NSS Report Number 584, 2018. Yes, just 14 per cent of Kerala households had piped water coming right to their house and an additional 4 per cent had piped water coming to the yard. But run your finger down the table rows and you'll see that the majority of the state was not getting their water from hand pumps (as 88 per cent of households in Bihar were) or from public taps (as 35 per cent of households in Tamil Nadu were). They were getting it from their own private wells. Individual ignorance and systemic strategy of spreading misinformation is the registered trademark of #Modi #BJP #Sangh
