RANGIYA/MIRJA (ASSAM), Mar 27 : Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh today said that when the Modi Government came into power in 2014, a lot of misgivings and doubts had been spread by the Congress Party to poison the people of Assam and the entire North Eastern Region against BJP, but we have worked day and night over the last seven years to win people’s trust and to clear all the doubts and misgivings about us.
Addressing election meetings in Assam, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, seven years back the Congress had spread the propaganda that if BJP comes to power in any of the North Eastern States, it will start interfering with people’s food habits and lifestyle, but we have painstakingly intermingled with the people and identified with them to convince them that BJP was an organisation which treated all sections of society equally, without any bias or discrimination. Even recently, he said, a notion had been spread by Congress Party about the imagined hardships and sufferings that people would have to face if CAA was brought in, but in the last two years, the people realised that this was all propaganda against the BJP Government and nothing of that sort happened which the Congress leadership had warned them against.
On the contrary, Dr. Singh said, during the COVID pandemic, the BJP Government and the BJP Karyakartas worked in close coordination with each other and today the successful COVID management in Assam is being cited as an example in other parts of the country. He said, even before 2016, when we did not have a BJP government in the State, our ‘Karyakartas’ would come forward to offer their services at the time of flood or any other calamity faced by the people.
In the last seven years, Singh said, we have successfully put Assam on the development track. We ask for another five years so that we can complete the projects undertaken and implement the projects that have been planned for the welfare of people, particularly for youth and women.
