Jowai: Senior Trinamool Congress leader Derek O’Brien on Tuesday assured that his party would ensure that all the promises mentioned in the manifesto are implemented within 100 days if voted to power in Meghalaya.
“Once Meghalaya TMC forms the government in the state, we will deliver on our promises within 100 days,” the TMC parliamentary leader in Rajya Sabha said while addressing a press conference after campaigning for his party candidate for Jowai assembly constituency.
Dismissing negative propaganda against Meghalaya TMC’s revolutionary schemes – WE Card and MYE Card – which have collectively received nearly 8 lakh registrations, O’Brien said, “When some people get elected as MLAs, they become salespeople. However, through these schemes, we are giving back what belongs to the people.”
Stressing that education, health, employment, and road infrastructure are the basic requirements of people, O’Brien said, “Money cannot win you hearts and minds. We believe we have the best candidate to serve the people of Jowai. The people of Jowai, and across Meghalaya, have made up their minds that they want a change.”
Earlier in the day, O’Brien and Meghalaya TMC candidate from Jowai, Andrew Shullai, addressed a public meeting in Iawmusiang Market, where they elaborated on TMC Meghalaya’s vision for Jowai.
