Imphal, June 22:
MLA of Tamenglong Assembly Constituency Khangthuanang Panmei has asserted that the Hariyali and Watershed Project and other beneficiary schemes being taken up by the Government are implemented in accordance to the laid down guidelines.
Talking to mediapersons at his Lamphel quarters here today, Khangthuanang said that all the schemes have their guidelines and the MLAs have no scope for interference in implementation of these schemes.
Under the laid down guidelines, the list of the beneficiaries is also prepared by the Village Authorities and other related chairmen, the MLA said.
While informing that the person who submitted and read out the memorandum submitted to the Government during a political conference of the Congress party was a Government employee, Khangthuanang wondered how in the first place the memorandum had been allowed to be submitted and subsequently read out by a Government employee.
Setting the record straight, the MLA explained that the beneficiary schemes are meant for poor people and not necessarily for workers of Congress party.
'As an MLA, my duty is to ensure proper implementation of the schemes as well as other developmental works being taken up by the Government in Tamenglong district', the MLA said, expressing regret over levelling false charges without understanding the truth.
