Honoured with the Stockholm Water Prize, water activist Rajendra Singh said he was disappointed with all the political parties as none of them have given due importance to the issues of drinking water, irrigation and river protection in the country in their manifestos.

Releasing the 'Janta Ghoshna Patra' of the 'Jal Jan Jodo Abhiyan' here, Singh on Tuesday told IANS: "In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the now-ruling BJP had made many promises, but nothing happened. Now, when it's election time again, parties are promising water conservation. But none of them have spoken on how they are going to curb the rising droughts and floods in the country and its aftermath."
