Guwahati: NEDA convenor Himanta Biswa Sarma on February 17 attacked Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma and TMC leader Mukul Sangma, claiming that if they win office, only they will benefit, not the state’s poor residents.
“If we want to develop Meghalaya then we have to vote for Narendra Modi…vote for BJP,” Sarma said while addressing a rally in Meghalaya’s Rangsakona.
Further, the Assam CM also slammed the TMC and the ruling NPP party and said, “Till Conrad Sangma or his brother is there in the state or maybe Mukul Sangma or his brother…welfare will be done only for each other brothers, not for the poor public.”
Sarma added that while regional parties pledge to work for the general welfare of the community at election time, these pledges will be forgotten afterward.
Sarma claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah spent the night in Tura and attempted to comprehend the issues that its residents were facing. He added that if BJP is elected, all brothers and nephews will be kept on one side and the general public will advance to the path of development, similar to other northeastern states.
“Till BJP government is not here in Meghalaya, people will only witness corruption and get nothing,” he added.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has done nothing for the state, according to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who also urged voters to support the BJP in the forthcoming Assembly election.
”The Meghalaya CM has done nothing for the state. Give a chance to BJP and BJP will provide tap water to every house in the state,” Shah added.
Shah added that the BJP is carrying out development projects wherever it is in power and that Meghalaya will be developed once it is in power there.
”BJP is carrying development works in every state and we will develop Meghalaya once we come into power in the state,” he added.
While praising the Assam administration for its work on development, Shah said that others might look at Assam and learn how the state was handling development.
