SILCHAR, March 16: Failure of the Congress government both in the Centre as well as in the State in completing two national projects like Silchar-Lumding broadgauge and East West corridor in Cachar district will be the main issue of the BJP in Silchar in the forthcoming general election.
This was indicated by Kabindra Purkayastha, whose name had been officially declared as party candidate by BJP’s Central Election Committee today in Delhi after a prolonged discussion that lasted almost five days.
Purkayastha was a former Minister in the Vajpaye led government as well as one of the main architect of the Saffron camp in the Northeast spoke to The Sentinel just after receiving the news of his name being finalized by central leadership.
Purkayastha who had earlier lost the election to arch rival Sontosh Mohan Dev by a mere margin of 20,000 votes, said, this time he would definitely win as the people of Silchar had been suffering terribly for the last five years.
“Rampant corruption in the administration fuelled by the ruling party leaders has stalled the wheels of development in Cachar district.” Purkayastha further said that the local MP as well as the Union Minister Dev had miserably failed to put aside the hurdles in the national projects like broadgauge.
Purkayastha said that Dev in his long political career had promoted the contractor raj and hence the main road of the town is in a pathetic condition though crores of rupees had reportedly been pumped for the construction of the road. “People would definitely seek answer to this question- where have all the money gone and Dev has to answer it”, Purkayastha said.
