BJP Govt in Assam Concerned Only for Power, Money, and Land: Gogoi
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in Assam has been accused of being more concerned with “power, money, land, and syndicates” than with the welfare of the people. This scathing criticism has been leveled by Assam Congress president-designate, Gaurav Gogoi, who has also pointed out that the recent waterlogging in Guwahati after heavy rains was largely due to the encroachment of wetlands by BJP ministers.
Gogoi’s remarks come at a time when the people of Assam are still reeling from the aftermath of the devastating floods that ravaged the state earlier this year. The floodwaters had left thousands of people displaced and had caused extensive damage to infrastructure and properties.
While the state government has been busy with relief efforts, Gogoi’s criticism has raised questions about the government’s priorities. Speaking to the media, Gogoi said that the BJP government in Assam was more concerned with lining its own pockets than with addressing the needs of the people.
“What is the priority of the BJP government in Assam? Power, money, land, and syndicates. That’s what they care about. They don’t care about the people’s welfare, they don’t care about their livelihoods, they don’t care about their future,” Gogoi said.
Gogoi’s criticism was not limited to the government’s priorities alone. He also took a swipe at the government’s handling of the recent waterlogging in Guwahati, which he attributed to the encroachment of wetlands by BJP ministers.
“The waterlogging in Guwahati was not due to natural causes alone. It was largely due to the encroachment of wetlands by BJP ministers. They have no regard for the environment, they have no regard for the people’s health, they have no regard for the city’s infrastructure,” Gogoi said.
Gogoi’s remarks have sparked a heated debate in the state, with many people agreeing with his assessment of the government’s priorities. The opposition Congress party has long been critical of the BJP government’s handling of the state’s affairs, and Gogoi’s comments have added fuel to the fire.
The BJP government in Assam, on the other hand, has been quick to defend itself against Gogoi’s criticism. The government has claimed that it has taken steps to address the waterlogging issue in Guwahati and has blamed the Congress party for its own failures.
Despite the controversy, Gogoi’s criticism has struck a chord with many people in Assam who feel that the government has lost sight of its priorities. The people of Assam are crying out for better governance, better infrastructure, and better living conditions, and Gogoi’s criticism has highlighted the need for the government to focus on these issues.
In conclusion, Gogoi’s criticism of the BJP government in Assam has raised important questions about the government’s priorities and its handling of the state’s affairs. While the government has defended itself against Gogoi’s criticism, the people of Assam are demanding better governance and better living conditions. It remains to be seen whether the government will take heed of these demands and make the necessary changes to address the concerns of the people.
