If UP is defecation-free in 10 years, I will accept Sai Baba is alive: Ramesh “If Uttar Pradesh becomes open defecation-free in 10 years, I can accept that Sai Baba is alive,” Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said expressing doubts about the state achieving the complete Nirmal status in next 10 years. Unable to decipher what the minister wants to convey. Does he hold Saibaba responsible for his government's inefficiency? Saibaba is no more ;therfore the government cannot improve the sanitary conditions of the country,Is that what he is conveying? It is a curse we are burdened with ministers who pronounce stupid and silly statements day in day out. :bonk Gopalan (Source: The Hindu : News / National : If UP is defecation-free in 10 years, I will accept Sai Baba is alive: Ramesh
