New Delhi: The Congress Member Parliament Gaurav Goggi on Monday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party and alleged them as a factory of empty promises.
Goggi in a press conference at All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters said that the entire country knows that BJP is a factory of Jumlas (empty promises). If Narendra Modi is the head of the Jumla factory, Himanta Biswa Sarma is the regional manager of this factory. PM Modi says- ‘Naa khaunga aur naa khane dunga’, but in Assam the CM’s family has eaten up lands in every district.
He labelled Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the “head of the Jumla factory” and said that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was the “regional manager of this factory.”
Intensifying his attack, the Congress MP cornered the Prime Minister over claims that he won’t tolerate corruption. However, he said, CM Sarma’s family in Assam had landholdings in every district.
“Narendra Modi calls himself a fakir (a saint), but around him, there are people who are continuously progressing,” Gogoi added while referring to the allegations levelled by Assam Congress incharge Jitendra Singh Alwar, who accused CM Sarma of building an empire in the state.
The Congress MP further questioned Sarma over his failure as the convenor of the North-East Democratic Alliance, given the “instability” in Manipur. He also asked about the delay in the committee’s report related to Clause 6 of the Assam Accord, which talks about providing constitutional safeguards to protect the cultural, social, and linguistic identity of the Assamese people.
“Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi ask the CM of Assam how such instability occurred in Manipur despite him being the convenor of the North-East Democratic Alliance? Now, is the responsibility of North-East not on Himanta Biswa Sarma? President’s rule imposed in Manipur, violence and rift everywhere – is this Himanta Biswa Sarma’s Chanakya Niti for North-East?” Gogoi remarked.
“Home Minister Amit Shah banged the table in the House and said that the work related to Clause 6 of the Assam Accord, which the late Rajiv Gandhi could not do, would be done by the BJP government. BJP formed a committee, but till date the report of that committee has not even been signed,” he added.
