Admirers & Critics of Digvijay Singh
A D M I R E R S
Digvijay Singh is the only chief minister of Madhya Pradesh who thinks about the environment. He knows that environment is a source of livelihood for villagers. Watershed activities and Panchayati Raj have not only given us back our agriculture but also the right to decide our own life and development
Mohammad ldris
Villager, Raigarb
He is the 'greenest' chief minister of India. He has an understanding of environmental problems at the grassroots level. Watershed activities have charf#ed the landscape and brought social, economic and ecological changes in the villages
Shail Chitwadgi,
Conservator of forests (retd), Bhopal
The changes - environmental, economic and social - in Jhabua, Dhar and Inclore through watershed activities speak for Digvijay Singh's high rating as far as environment is concerned

Industrial pollution is the worst in Madhya Pradesh. And Digvijay Singh is doing nothing, but claims that he is working towards a clean environment. Corrupt officials;, backed by political godfathers, are helping highly-polluting industries prosper
Satinath Sarangi,
Managing trustee, Sambhabana Trust, Bhopal
On the one hand, he promises to make clean water and land the focus of his government. On the other, his followers come up with industries that pollute our land and water. He speaks green but does red (referring to the red water contaminated with H-acid that the village gets). What can Digvijay Singh give us if he cannot protect our land and water
Hriram Patidar,
Village leader, Bajankheda, Ratlam
Digvijay Singh has been unable to check corruption. Corruption will be the greatest threat to environment in future. So whatever good he claims to have done for environment would be nullified
