SILCHAR, June 8: Branding Kabindra Purkyastha as an inactive MP, State Excise Minister Gautam Roy allegedly insulted Silchar people who had elected him to represent this prestigious constituency in the Lok Sabha, stated the district committee of BJP. Reacting sharply to the recent remarks made by Roy that Purkyastha was a gentleman and hence he would not be able bring any big project for Silchar, the Silchar district BJP in a statement made it clear that a leader like Purkyastha did not need a certificate from a man like Gautam Roy.
The press note further alleged that, even the former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had openly praised Purkyastha, who was the then Communication Minister in the erstwhile NDA Government.
It was Purkyastha who persuaded Vajpayee to stretch the map of the much-cherished East-West corridor project upto Silchar, BJP added.
The statement also said, even former Union Minister as well as political viral Santosh Mohan Dev had also time and again admitted that Purkyastha in his brief stint as Union Minister had performed commendably.
It further reminded Roy that during his tenure as Union Communication Minister, Purkyastha being requested by late Sontosh Kumar Roy, father of Gautam Roy, upgraded the Hailakandi sub-post office to the statues of the head post office.
It is to be noted that Roy in a recent press meet lambasted Purkyastha for making his son Kanad as the nominee for the MPLAD fund. Interestingly, the statement issued by the district committee did not touch the issue. THE SENTINEL
