Trinamool Congress leader Dr Mukul Sangma has slammed the National People’s Party led MDA government over the issue of resolving the ban on coal mining in the state.
Addressing an election rally in Mawshynrut under West Khasi Hills today, Sangma said that the NPP during the last Assembly elections had claimed that they would resolve the issue of ban on coal mining within six month’s time.
“Don’t we remember what was said in the 2018 elections? Didn’t they say that they will resume coal mining within 6 months of forming the government? Therefore, we will have to give a judgment to the corrupt-NPP government today,” Dr. Sangma said.
He said the NPP don’t live up to their election promises and that “people who are supposed to be rich are grieving and suffering under this government.”
In Phulbari, the TMC leader expressed confidence in forming the government and listed the priorities of the party including the employment of youth.”It is disheartening to see that nothing has improved in the last five years. This area is in desperate need of development. Our children are in pain. It is time to unite together and bring about change by bringing TMC into power,” he said.
He also lambasted the MDA government and said it was selling the aspirations of the people of Meghalaya by giving away the land to Assam. “I witnessed how the MDA government forcibly transferred land to Assam, but the moment has come to protect our land peacefully. First and foremost, we must remove this surrogate government before we can move forward and resolve our issues amicably. This is only attainable through the power of the vote,” Dr. Sangma said.
In another rally at Rongjeng, East Garo Hills he criticised the NPP and other parties for their comments on Meghalaya TMC’s visionary We Card and MYE Card, stating, “NPP’s priorities do not revolve around the greater good of people, neither towards the welfare of people, state, or vulnerable sections of society, or the larger interest of the state.”
He also stated that the spirit of democracy obligates a political party to keep all of its manifesto promises and that the Meghalaya TMC will keep all of its promises and keep the democratic spirit alive.
