MUMBAI: An Indian ruling party politician has been left red-faced after a video of him urinating in public went viral on World Toilet Day, despite government efforts to stop people relieving themselves in the open.
Ram Shinde, a minister for water conservation in the western state of Maharashtra, was filmed answering the call of nature in a field by the side of a road Saturday. The clip spread online the following day. November 19 marks the United Nations´ official World Toilet Day, which aims to raise awareness about the health risks caused by a lack of lavatories. Shinde, a member of India´s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, defended his actions with an excuse familiar to many, effectively saying: "When you´ve got to go, you´ve got to go".
"I have been travelling continuously for the last one month reviewing the Jalyukta Shivar scheme," he told the Press Trust of India (PTI), referring to drought-prone Maharashtra´s water conservation programme. "Continuous travelling in high temperatures and dust made me ill. I was suffering from fever and when I couldn´t find a toilet while travelling, I had to relieve myself in the open." India is notorious for its lack of toilets.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/World-TheNewsInternational/~4/xfwjbGL6Y-4
