Flush toilets use a lot of water, even wealthy people use buckets. Moreover squat toilets, which is how the human anatomy has evolved generally require the use of mugs and buckets, is the preferred and often cleaner method. Soap usage is quite common these days except perhaps in the remotest and the poorest regions. There is an obsession with western comodes and toilet paper, if you read up on their relatively recent history and a solution looking for a problem you would realise they they aren't great ideas. This is especially considering a warm country like India, where washing one's self with water and soap is the safest option. There is in general a problem with most countries especially developing ones, where the ones using the facilities are far removed from the ones providing it. Often the builders/contractors provide substandard facilities, this includes public facilities like busses. The food poisoning incident has brought out the other complains about other the facilities which has always existed.
