The Congress on Sunday released a 12-point “charge sheet” against the BJP government in Assam, accusing it of imposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on the indigenous individuals of the state and stalling the course of action of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
AICC basic secretary Jitendra Singh mentioned that just before coming to energy, the BJP had promised to safeguard the “Jati- Mati-Bheti” (neighborhood-land-base) but as an alternative imposed the Citizenship Amendment Act on the individuals of Assam. “CAA is posing a threat to the language, culture and identity of the people of Assam while giving a red carpet welcome to illegal migrants to settle in Assam,” he mentioned.
The BJP government has failed to implement the Assam Accord in letter and spirit, and also the Clause 6, as promised by them, he mentioned. The BJP had promised to finish the work of updating the NRC, began by the Congress, which would assistance recognize foreigners but its government has stalled the course of action of NRC, affecting the genuine citizens who did not uncover their names in the document, Singh mentioned.
Before the 2016 Assembly elections, the BJP had promised to provide employment to 5 lakh youths in the state each and every year but it failed to provide and there are about 3 lakh posts lying vacant in distinctive government departments, he mentioned. The quantity of unemployed in the state has reached 40 lakh, Singh claimed.
Instead of jobs, the youths of Assam have often faced appointment scams and there has been a series of recruitment scandals, which includes these in the Panchayat and Rural Development Department, and the more current Assam Police recruitment scam exactly where senior serving and retired police officers had been arrested, he mentioned.
The BJP has been promoting the prized sources of the state, from oil fields to the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport to corporate homes that are close to the Modi regime, Singh alleged. During the BJP rule in the state, there has been a mushrooming of syndicates — from essentials like fruits, vegetables, fish and eggs to coal and cattle, he claimed. The BJP government in Assam also failed to improve the every day wages for tea workers, in spite of a guarantee by the government to raise it to Rs 351, he mentioned.
“The jugglery used by the Sonowal government to increase Rs 50 for the interim period has failed, with tea companies taking the government to court for not adhering to the regulations,” he mentioned.
The BJP has also backtracked on the guarantee of offering Scheduled Tribe status to six tribes of Assam, the Congress leader alleged. The BJP government has also failed to resolve the flood and erosion challenge faced by Assam in spite of the promises produced from time to time, he mentioned.
The BJP’s vision document had promised the state’s farmers that they will get the minimum assistance cost for paddy but only one per cent of the total paddy created was procured at that cost, Singh claimed.
