On World Environment Day, it is time to stop the further degradation of our forests, rivers, oceans, air, and habitats.

While PM Modi publicly urges citizens to cope with rising heat through symbolic gestures such as “staying hydrated” to overcome the sweltering temperatures, his Govt is simultaneously presiding over one of the most aggressive and large-scale assaults on India’s ecological wealth in recent history.

Official figures and project clearances indicate that nearly 1,91,922 hectares of forest have been chopped off in the last 11 years.

Since 2014, an estimated 1.6 crore plus trees have been destroyed, laying bare the contradiction between the Modi Govt’s green claims and ground reality.

Across the country, this ecological destruction continues unabated:

🪾In Andaman & Nicobar, the Great Nicobar project threatens to destroy ~10 lakh trees, endangering a fragile island ecosystem.

🪾In Madhya Pradesh, mining and infrastructure expansion are wiping out ~7 lakh trees across forest regions.

🪾In Chhattisgarh, the Hasdeo Arand coal mining project is set to fell ~5 lakh trees, severely impacting a critical biodiversity hotspot.

🪾In Rajasthan, multiple development projects threaten ~1.5–4 lakh trees, further weakening the already fragile Aravalli ecosystem.

🪾In Uttar Pradesh, highways and expressways have led to the removal of ~1 lakh trees.

🪾In Assam, highway expansion has cut ~1 lakh trees in just four years.

🪾In Odisha, the Bharatmala project has resulted in the felling of ~50,000 trees.

🪾In Maharashtra, coastal road construction and mining activities are destroying ~45,000 trees along with vital mangrove ecosystems.

While the Modi Govt continues to claim an increase in forest cover. The India State of Forest Report (ISFR) defines “forest cover” using satellite-based canopy density and includes not only natural forests but also rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, orchards, bamboo plantations, and other tree-covered lands above one hectare.

This deliberate conflation of plantations with natural forests masks the ongoing destruction of biodiversity-rich ecosystems and allows ecological loss to be disguised as statistical stability or even growth.

India’s natural forests are being steadily eroded while the Modi Govt relies on manipulated definitions and selective accounting to manufacture an illusion of environmental progress. Studies show dense and biodiverse forests are being replaced by plantations and fragmented patches.

This government has weakened and dismantled India’s environmental governance framework built over decades. This framework was first institutionalised under former Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi through landmark laws including the Wildlife Protection Act (1972), Water Act (1974), Forest Conservation Act (1980), and Air Act (1981).

It was further expanded under the Congress-UPA Govt with the Forest Rights Act, 2006 recognising forest-dwelling communities’ rights, the EIA Notification, 2006 strengthening environmental clearance, the National Green Tribunal (2010) ensuring enforcement, and the National Action Plan on Climate Change (2008) providing India’s first climate framework.

In sharp contrast, the Modi Govt has weakened, diluted, and bypassed these safeguards through procedural relaxations, accelerated clearances, and regulatory weakening that prioritises projects over ecological protection.

Ultimately, India’s environmental vision must rest on three fundamental principles: unwavering respect for the rule of law, meaningful partnership with local communities rather than conflict with them, and a recognition that environmental protection and human development are deeply interconnected. Only through such an approach can India build a safer, healthier, and more resilient future for the 21st century.

The Gandhi family has played a defining role in my political journey, not merely through leadership, but through the faith they placed in me at different stages of my life.

I often reflect on Shri Rajiv Gandhi avaru, who saw potential in a young worker even before I could see it in myself. His encouragement gave me the confidence to dream bigger and dedicate myself to public service. The greatest leaders are those who identify possibilities in others and inspire them to rise beyond their own expectations. Rajiv Gandhi did exactly that for me.

Smt. Sonia Gandhi avaru taught me another important lesson in leadership. True leaders do not stand by you only during moments of success; they stand beside you during your most difficult times, offering strength, encouragement and unwavering support. Her faith in me during challenging phases of my journey is something I will always cherish.

Shri @RahulGandhi avaru has been a constant source of guidance and inspiration. His willingness to listen, his conviction in democratic values, and his vision for a more inclusive and compassionate India continue to motivate leaders like me. His support has been a strong pillar throughout my public life.

Smt. @priyankagandhi avaru has always been approachable, warm and encouraging. She has treated every worker with respect and dignity, reminding us that politics is ultimately about connecting with people and understanding their aspirations. Her guidance and encouragement have always been deeply valued.

For me, the Gandhi family represents different dimensions of leadership recognizing potential, standing by people in difficult times, listening with empathy, and inspiring others through conviction and service.

As someone who began as a grassroots worker and has been entrusted today with the responsibility of leading Karnataka, I remain profoundly grateful for their trust and encouragement.

Under their leadership and with the blessings of the people of Karnataka, I will continue to work with sincerity and commitment to build a progressive, inclusive and prosperous Karnataka that reflects the values we collectively stand for.
