BJP Govt in Assam Concerned Only for Power, Money & Land: Gogoi
The Congress party in Assam has been vocal about its criticism of the ruling BJP government, and the latest salvo comes from Gaurav Gogoi, the party’s president-designate. Gogoi has accused the BJP-led state government of being concerned only with “power, money, land, and syndicates”. In a scathing attack, he also pointed out that the recent waterlogging in Guwahati after heavy rains was a direct result of the encroachment of wetlands by BJP ministers.
Gogoi’s comments came as a response to the recent floods and waterlogging in Guwahati, which has left many residents stranded and struggling to cope with the aftermath. The floodwaters have caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure, and the city’s residents are still reeling from the impact.
In an interview, Gogoi said, “The BJP government in Assam is concerned only with three things – power, money, and land. They are more interested in accumulating wealth and power than in serving the people of the state.” He also accused the government of being controlled by syndicates, which he claimed are responsible for the state’s economic and social problems.
Gogoi’s comments are not the first time that the Congress party has criticized the BJP government in Assam. The party has been vocal about its opposition to the government’s policies and has accused the BJP of being corrupt and nepotistic.
The waterlogging in Guwahati is just the latest example of the government’s failure to address the state’s problems. The city’s drainage system is antiquated and has been unable to cope with the recent heavy rainfall, leading to widespread flooding.
Gogoi pointed out that the BJP ministers are more concerned with building roads that lead to their own homes rather than investing in proper drainage systems. “They are more interested in building roads that lead to their own houses than in building proper drainage systems,” he said. “This is a clear example of how the government is more concerned with their own interests than with the welfare of the people.”
The Congress party has been trying to capitalize on the public anger and frustration with the government’s handling of the floods. Gogoi’s comments are likely to resonate with many people in the state who are tired of the government’s inaction and corruption.
The BJP government, on the other hand, has been trying to defend its record on the floods. The Chief Minister of Assam, Sarbananda Sonowal, has attributed the flooding to the heavy rainfall and has promised to take steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
The Congress party has been trying to counter the government’s claims by pointing out that the floods were a direct result of the government’s failure to implement effective measures to prevent flooding. Gogoi has also accused the government of trying to cover up the extent of the damage caused by the floods and of being more concerned with protecting its own interests than with helping the people affected by the floods.
The controversy over the floods is just the latest example of the deep-seated divisions between the Congress and the BJP in Assam. The two parties have been at odds for many years, and the situation is likely to remain volatile in the run-up to the next state elections.
In conclusion, Gogoi’s comments highlight the deep-seated corruption and nepotism that plagues the BJP government in Assam. The government’s failure to address the state’s problems and its obsession with power, money, and land are a clear example of its priorities. The people of Assam deserve better, and it is up to the Congress party to hold the government accountable for its actions.
