Environment is the most under-reported disaster of Narendra Modi government Dhruv Rathee 19 April, 2019 https://theprint.in/opinion/environment-is-the-most-under-reported-failure-of-narendra-modi-government/223670/
One ecologically sensitive area after another has been destroyed while laws have been twisted and turned, again and again. The new BJP manifesto for 2019 elections provides no respite from this ongoing assault. Under the forest and environment section, it boasts of ‘speed and effectiveness in issuing forest and environmental clearances’. This is a catchy euphemism for prioritising construction and industry over ecology and biodiversity. After all, this goes with the ‘ease of doing business’ achievements and voters can be convinced that this is a good thing.
