      Meghalaya needs a people-first govt instead of a family-first govt: Modi

      ‘Family-run parties have converted Meghalaya into an ATM’

      Meghalaya needs a people-first govt instead of a family-first govt: Modi

      Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted that Meghalaya needed to be free of dynastic politics.

      “Meghalaya should become free from dynastic politics.  Not only in Delhi but in Meghalaya too the family-run parties have converted Meghalaya into an ATM to fill their coffers,” he said in an indirect attack on Chief Minister Conrad Sangma at a rally in Khydailad following a roadshow.

      Modi said the BJP is coming to power in Meghalaya and that the “lotus will bloom”. “Everyone, be it youth, women, traders, or government servants is asking for a BJP government in Meghalaya and the sentiment in support of BJP in Meghalaya, as well as North East, is a result of the selfish act by a few families,” he said.

      He said, “Meghalaya needs a people-first government instead of a family-first government.”

      “Lack of road, rail, and air connectivity has always blocked development in Meghalaya due to obstruction from the state government,” he said.

      The Prime Minister also said the BJP government at the centre has made situations favourable ensuring development for Meghalaya and the region.

      Stating that India is scaling new heights of success and Meghalaya is making a strong contribution to it, he said, “We want to build it further and work for the state.”

      He added, “This love and blessings from the people of Meghalaya will be repaid by bringing development to Meghalaya.”

      Attacking the Congress, Modi said the country will give them a befitting reply.  “People rejected by the country are now chanting ‘Modi teri kabar khudegi’ (Modi, your grave would be dug) but people of the country are saying ‘Modi Tera Kamal Khilega’ (Modi, your lotus will bloom)”.

      Earlier, the Prime Minister held a roadshow starting from the State Central Library after he paid floral tributes to three freedom fighters- U Tirot Sing, U Kiang Nangbah and Pa Togan Sangma.
