The Meghalaya BJP today lambasted the Congress for allegedly releasing a bouquet-of-lies.

The Meghalaya BJP termed the Congress campaign in the state as a mockery of its people.
“Sending an inconsequential leader such as Jairam Ramesh to the state shows how the Congress considers Meghalaya to be a low priority state.”

In a press briefing, BJP National General Secretary, Tarun Chugh said, “this is neither unexpected nor new. The Congress has always treated the North-east in a step motherly fashion. It was only after the election of the PM Narendra Modi led BJP government that the Centre started focusing on this region and laying special emphasis on its development. The result of PM Modi’s efforts are for all to see.”

Reacting to the promises made by the Congress, Tarun Chugh said that the Congress has recently adopted the Sri Lankan model of bankruptcy and as an experiment, wants to implement it in Meghalaya. The clouds of unemployment, of backwardness and the clouds that have chained Meghalaya and prevented it from moving forward – are all gifts of the Congress that the state did not want.”

Chugh said that most of the relevant promises that the Congress has made are those that our PM is already providing to the state and the country.
“This is an indication that the Congress also plans to only rename Central Government schemes (in the name of either Rajiv Gandhi or someone else from their onwer’s family) and do nothing as a state government.”
