Opposition leader Mukul Sangma today said that the MDA government’s border resolution is “undemocratic, insensitive and irresponsible.”
Addressing the Trinamool Congress block committee meeting in Mowkaiaw, Sangma said,” Meghalaya is being compromised under the proxy BJP government.
According to the former chief minister, the State government is also flawed with misgovernance with its faulty policy and said, “You’re witnessing the protests from many employees of the different departments trying to draw the attention of the government to the various grievances that they have, we also have many other employees silently enduring the discrimination, these are all because of the faulty proxy BJP government.”
Sangma accused the government of not being sincere in creating jobs for youth. “There are posts which have fallen vacant due to retirement or untimely passing away of the employees; these are not vacancies which are created by sanctioning new job vacancies by the government. The government does not intend to create jobs for the youth,” he said.
“Many of our youth who aspire to be teachers have completed their MTET; all the results have been declared. The government claimed that once the interview process is completed, the posts would be filled up. However, the vacancies have not filled up yet. Not filling up the vacancies amount to deprivation for the job seekers. These are all because of the faulty policy of the government.”
Umroi MLA, George B Lyngdoh said that the border deal with Assam was made in haste and if the MDA government and the regional parties were given another chance, they would sell out lands in Block I and II.
Lyngdoh stated that there are even undisputed lands that have gone to Assam after the agreement. “Soon the people of will become refugees and lose the ownership of their lands as the Assam government will do whatever it likes there,” he added.
“They claimed that they had resolved the long pending boundary dispute, but if the lands are just given away then it would not take 50 years but just 50 minutes,” Lyngdoh said, adding, that the people of the state see hopes in the Trinamool Congress in 2023.
At the meeting, TMC State President, Charles Pyngrope urged the people of Mowkaiaw to join “#BeTheChange campaign” and become “agents of change” for Mowkaiaw.
Meanwhile, the TMC party office was also inaugurated at Laskein.
