West Bengal CM ask Meghalaya govt to produce report card

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJanuary 18, 2023

Chairperson of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday demanded the production of report card on the five years of governance by the NPP led MDA Govt.

Addressing a party rally at the Dilma Apal Playground in Mendipathar, North Garo Hills District, West Bengal Chief Minister questioned, “What has this government done in the past five years? Why is it that after so many years, electricity hasn’t reached Meghalaya? Why is the younger generation not getting any employment opportunities?”

Highlighting the dedication of Meghalaya TMC towards the state, she urged people “to empower the people, uphold the culture, celebrate the sacred land of Meghalaya,
and remove the proxy BJP government, which is corrupt and hasn’t done anything for the people.”

AITC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee boasted that NPP will not be able to win a single assembly seat from Garo Hills.

He asserted that if voted to power, the people of the soil would run the government in Meghalaya, unlike those leaders who run governments from the ivory towers of Guwahati and Delhi.

The AITC Chairperson Mamata Banerjee asked “Why should a de-facto prime minister from Guwahati run all the North-Eastern regions?

TMC State President Charles Pyngrope said, plagued with issues of corruption, scams, and a total collapse of governance, the people of Meghalaya are aspiring for new leadership that will bring back the lost glory of our people and the state.

Leader of Opposition Dr. Mukul Sangma highlighted the atrocities of the MDA government and their incessant failures in protecting the people of Meghalaya.

In the border issue between Meghalaya and Assam, Sangma said they have seen that the lands were given to Assam. Over 13,850 acres of land have been given to Assam and they have to retrieve it.
