“Drink alcohol, smell thinner…but save water,” BJP MP Janardhan Mishra’s bizarre remark on water conservation

Rewa (Madhya Pradesh): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member of parliament (MP) from Rewa constituency Janardan Mishra has made a bizarre remark over the conservation of water in Rewa.

“Lands are running dry of water, it must be saved. Either eat gutka, consume liquor, smell thinner, sulesan (a kind of adhesive), or eat iodex but understand the importance of water,” Janardan Mishra said during a water conservation workshop.

The workshop was organised at Rewa Krishnaraj Kapoor Auditorium in the district on Sunday. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media.

This is not the first time that Mishra had hit the headlines. He remained in the headline through his unexpected strange statements and activities. Recently, a video went viral in which he was spotted cleaning a toilet with his bare hands.
