        Not really comparable though, drinking water from the Ganges is really dangerous. It’s filled with untreated sewage and industrial waste.

          Yes but its still all the same category of politicians doing something unsafe once that other people are exposed to daily.

          In the Japan case its a bit different, but its similar in the sense that at the PMs office the soil just grows some decorative plants that he doesnt have a lot of interaction with, while elsewhere it grows food that people will eat daily.
