Imphal, January 14 2018:
People's faith reposed in the BJP-led Government both at the Centre and the State about boosting economy and bringing development in the State turned out to be contradictory, claimed MLA of Nambol AC Naneirakpam Loken.
The MLA made the claim in a reception function cum joint meeting for Congress workers organised by Nambol Block Congress Committee at its office today.
Speaking as chief guest, Loken pointed out that the tall promise made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deposit an amount of Rs 15 lakh from the recovered black money in the bank accounts of poor people of the country is yet to be fulfilled.
He said that people of the country, especially industrialists have been greatly affected in the face of the demonetisation and the imposition of Good Services Tax (GST) by the BJP Government.
Following the formation of BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre, economy of the country has worsened.
The country witnessed the same situation during the reign of previous NDA Government under the leadership of the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he said.
Contending that BJP would suffer a defeat in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha election, the MLA said that people of the State are well aware of the 'poor governance' of the BJP-led Government.
The Government had made an announcement that all the people of the State will be provided with potable water by 2022.How will the Government provide potable water to all the people of Nambol when the constituency has received only Rs 40 lakh, he wondered.
Referring to the statement made by Works Minister Th Biswajit that roads will be repaired after the end of the rainy season, he said that most of the roads in Nambol AC have been lying in a pitiable state for a long time.
In stark contrast to the clarion call made by PM Narendra Modi to do away with VIP culture in the country, some people in Nambol, who lost in election and quit the job of police are using flag post, Loken said.
The reception function was presided over by NBCC president L Lokendro while Leimapokpam Zilla Parishad Member, Leimapokpam Jiten; Prdhan, Leimapokpam Gram Panchayat, Thiyam Pasot and Members of the GP seated on the dais.
