Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged the crowd to remove the “corrupt” NPP-led MDA government in the elections on February 27.
Addressing a massive rally at the Nekikona Tilapara ground in Rajabala today, Banerjee said, “Change this government which has been in power for the past five years. Nothing was done [by the government]. No medical colleges, no good roads, and no system for healthcare facilities were developed. There was no development but only scandals. Change this scandalous government.”
Urging the people of Meghalaya to choose leaders from the soil, Banerjee said, “Outsiders want to rule here while oppressing you with NRC, CAA, bullets, and scandals. Do not tolerate this. Meghalaya will be run by Meghalaya and not Guwahati or Delhi. We too won’t run it from Bengal. We are your friends and will only help you with whatever you need.”
Condemning the NPP-led MDA government for a series of scams that hit the state in the past five years, Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee said, “In a press conference yesterday, we explained the Meghalaya land scam in detail. Land sold by the villagers at Rs 45 per sq ft was bought from a middleman at the rate of Rs 85 per sq ft. Around Rs 150 crore that belongs to you was sent to their masters in Delhi.”
The leaders also denounced the MDA government’s lack of action following the Mukroh violence that claimed the lives of five innocent people.
