Rahul Gandhi, who is the Leader of the Opposition, went to Indore in Madhya Pradesh to meet families who lost loved ones because of dirty drinking water.
He also visited a hospital to talk to seven people who are sick from drinking the bad water.
He said the government is not doing a good job because they promised to make Indore a clean and smart city, but people still don't have safe water to drink.
He thinks the government should have done more to keep people safe.
Rahul Gandhi shared a video on Facebook showing how bad the water problem is.
In the video, people said many family members got very sick and died after drinking dirty water.
