Resubelpara: Former Meghalaya Chief Minister, Mukul Sangma, reiterated on Wednesday that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will scrap the Assam-Meghalaya border agreement and get the B-Mahal land back for the people if voted to power.
“I promise to bring back the land from Assam and the B-Mahal land where our ancestors resided. We know this government has viciously snatched the land, but I promise I will give it back to the people after we form the government,” Sangma said.
Drumming up support for his party candidate from the Resubelpara assembly constituency, Rinaldo K Sangma, the incumbent Leader of Opposition further cornered the NPP-led MDA government over the pending recruitment of teachers.
“We will give justice to our betrayed teachers, who’ve been living in darkness because of this inept government. I assure you that we’ll give them opportunities, and we’ll fill up all the available vacancies. Additionally, we will also increase the salaries of the teachers and government employees as soon as possible,” Sangma assured.
“During my tenure, I revised the salaries of government employees twice a year, and this current government didn’t even increase the salaries once in the last 5 years,” he added.
Dismissing false propaganda around the party, TMC’s Resubelpara candidate Rinaldo said, “BJP and TMC can never come together as Trinamool Congress has a different ideology. India is a very diverse country, and we want to preserve that diversity, unlike the BJP.”
Rinaldo also slammed the Centre and the state governments for failing to implement the PM Kisan scheme in the state.
“PM Kisan is given by the Central government. The state government must give it to everybody in Meghalaya, but the current MDA government is not disbursing these funds. Instead, they are naming it the FOCUS scheme by the NPP,” Rinaldo said, promising to put an end to these scams once TMC comes to power in Meghalaya.
