BJP dares CM for open debate

“Stop politics, let’s debate on corruption issues and need to do CBI inquiry into various scams raised by BJP. BJP is not in MDA to profit from the scans but to voice against it. Accept the challenge and prove your stand. BJP will not stop raising corruption issues. CM Conrad Sangma should prove publicly why he says “No” to CBI inquiry,” Marak said in a statement issued here.

He also claimed that the BJP is not a corrupt party and the schemes designed under BJP are transparent and people oriented, mostly meant for the poor.

Marak also accused the coalition partners of the MDA of looting the poor with their lies.

“Enough of scams, we gave them time to reform but all we see is scams. We want all regional parties and other constituent allies to choose good governance over corruption,” he said.

The BJP leader further accused the NPP of treating the BJP as opposition in Garo Hills. He said he has been treated as an opposition in GHADC for winning CM’s seat (in MDC elections) and said there will be no compromise to corruption so debating to prove a point is justified. NPP treats BJP as the opposition in Garo Hills, so NPP in Garo Hills has no coalition with BJP.”

Marak also referred to CM’s statement that BJP is free to withdraw support from the MDA as cheap politics.

“CM appointed, CM can remove and we are ready for the show. Money and power is not everything in politics, good leadership is,” he said.

“Sidelining many MLAs from Garo Hills proves they don’t care for the people of their constituencies. Tura, after BJP winning the MDC seat is targeted by depriving the basic needs of the people and creating fear psychosis through evictions. They should give chance to other MLAs from Garo Hills so that they can provide the basics to their people,” he added.

Meanwhile, the BJP leader said that the party will continue to campaign against corruption and stress for a corruption free governance.

“The dangerous trend of eating away everything like the parasite should stop. We all should understand, we shall leave this state to our children,” he said while urging all like-minded parties with progressive and developmental ideologies to come forward to draw a new roadmap for the state and its people.

Stating that representatives are voted to power to bring change in their constituencies and state as a whole, he said that looting everyone, even the poorest beneficiaries and building their own dynasty was never a part of governance.

He further assured that BJP will not compromise on any important issue and will raise its voice continuously as it has been doing so and said, “The administrative and financial irregularities are a blunt message to the people of the state. Capable leaders are completely sidelined in our state. Meghalaya needs true leaders with vision to solve issues for its people, not businessmen disguised as leaders. It is time to see, money ruined everything we ever voted for. It’s time to rise up against such trends and set the ball rolling for development which is the need of the hour.”
