Taking a jibe at the Congress and the National People’s Party (NPP), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said that former chief minister’s of Meghalaya never focused on the welfare of the people, instead worked for their families and ‘personal development’.
“Meghalaya has everything for becoming the most prosperous state of the region. But all earlier Chief Ministers never focused on the welfare of the people, instead worked for their families and ‘personal development’,” said Amit Shah while addressing a public rally in Rangsakona, Meghalaya. Coming down heavily on Congress and NPP, Amit Shah said that the pervious governments looted the money meant for building houses for the poor and urged the citizens to vote for the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).
“People haven’t been provided houses even after PM Modi gave money for building pucca houses for the poor. This happened as the state government looted the money meant for building houses for the poor. Vote for BJP and every poor will get a pucca house before 2025,” he said.
He further accused the Congress leader Mukul Sangma and Conrad Sangma of giving jobs to their family members and acquaintances.
“Wherever the BJP formed the government, it ended corruption in government jobs. But when Mukul Sangma comes here, he gives jobs to his family members, when Konrad Sangma comes, he gives jobs to his family members and acquaintances,” he said.
Amit Shah assured that after the formation of the BJP government in the state, work will be done to provide jobs to the poor.
