BJP Govt in Assam Concerned Only for Power, Money & Land: Gogoi
The BJP-led state government in Assam has been accused of being concerned only with “power, money, land and syndicates” by Assam Congress president-designate Gaurav Gogoi. Gogoi’s scathing criticism of the government’s priorities came as the state is reeling from the aftermath of heavy rains that caused widespread waterlogging in Guwahati, the state capital.
Gogoi, who is also the former MLA from the Jamalpur constituency, attributed the waterlogging in Guwahati to the encroachment of wetlands by BJP ministers. “BJP ministers care more about roads leading to their own houses than about building proper drainage systems,” he added. This is a stark reminder of the government’s lack of concern for the people’s welfare and its focus on personal gains.
The Congress leader’s comments are a stark contrast to the government’s claims of working for the development and welfare of the people of Assam. The BJP-led government has been in power since 2016 and has been accused of nepotism, corruption, and crony capitalism.
The waterlogging in Guwahati is just the latest example of the government’s failure to deliver on its promises. The city’s drainage system has been in a state of disrepair for years, and the heavy rains have only exacerbated the problem. The government’s lack of planning and preparedness has left the city’s residents struggling to cope with the aftermath of the floods.
Gogoi’s comments are not the first time that the Congress party has targeted the BJP-led government in Assam. The party has consistently accused the government of being corrupt and of prioritizing the interests of a few individuals over those of the people of Assam.
The BJP-led government in Assam has been accused of being involved in several scandals, including the alleged misuse of funds meant for the construction of the Brahmaputra River bridge. The project, which was supposed to be completed in 2015, is still not finished, and the government has been accused of diverting funds meant for the project to other purposes.
The government’s lack of transparency and accountability has also been criticized by many. The state’s chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, has been accused of being involved in several corruption scandals, including the alleged misuse of funds meant for the construction of a hospital in his constituency.
Gogoi’s comments are a wake-up call for the people of Assam to be aware of the government’s true intentions. The Congress party has consistently fought for the rights of the people of Assam and has been a vocal critic of the government’s policies.
In conclusion, the BJP-led government in Assam is indeed concerned only with “power, money, land and syndicates”. The government’s priorities are clear, and it is up to the people of Assam to hold them accountable for their actions. The Congress party will continue to fight for the rights of the people of Assam and will not let the government get away with its corrupt practices.
