Congress slams Maharashtra government over data-centre push amid drought
Original: Congress attacks Maharashtra government for data-centre industry expansion push amid drought
India's Congress party has accused the Maharashtra state government of prioritising the expansion of the data-centre industry while much of the state faces drought conditions. The party argues that promoting water- and power-intensive infrastructure during a water crisis shows misplaced priorities, and is demanding the government focus instead on drought relief and farmers' needs.
Why now: The clash lands during an ongoing drought in Maharashtra, making the government's industrial policy a flashpoint in state politics.
