Uttar Pradesh's Water Resources Minister Dharampal Singh knows his job pretty well and can speak confidently into the camera on how it is so important to keep the rivers clean. And he does, minutes after accompanying BJP lawmaker tossed a plastic water bottle into Saryu river. The minister and lawmaker Priyanka Singh Rawat - along with an entourage of officials in cars blaring sirens - had travelled more than 100 km from Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow to Gonda district. They were on an inspection of an embankment on the Saryu, the ancient river that finds mention in the Vedas and Ramayana as well.
