Economic condition of Assam worsened during AGP rule: Tarun Gogoi

Correspondent
TEZPUR, April 1 – Terming AGP as an immature regional political party, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that during the AGP rule every possible development of the State was disrupted due to the lack of proper policy and adequate planning.

The economic condition of the State worsened, Gogoi said and urged the voters of the State to wipe out AGP from the political field of Assam in the ensuing Parliamentary election. The Chief Minister was addressing an election rally at Haleswar Stadium under Tezpur Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday.

Gogoi further said that the Assam Accord was executed during the days of Rajiv Gandhi. “If the Congress had not signed the agreement with the AASU leaders, they could never have come to power. Moreover, after coming to power, they ignored the economic side of the State. During the Congress regime alone we revived the economy,” he said.

Lashing out at AGP-BJP and AUDF, Gogoi further said that during the rule of NDA at the Centre and AGP in Assam, development of India, including Assam, was disrupted. There was no effective planning for the common people and employees were deprived of their salaries. But right now the poor people of the State are getting various advantages including free rice, electricity and medical facilities.

Referring to the activities of RSS, Gogoi said that Nathuram Godse was an RSS activist who killed Mahatma Gandhi. And it is most unfortunate that BJP leader Advani is with the RSS. With such a party AGP has entered into an alliance and is dreaming of forming the Government.

The meeting, which was attended by more than 5,000 people, was presided over by Fishery and Irrigation Minister Nurjamal Sarkar. ASSAM TRIBUNE
