SILCHAR, June 6: Virtually in a post-poll analysis, Gautam Roy focused on the reason that led to the defeat of his party colleague Sontosh Mohan Dev in Silchar seat.
In a hurriedly called press meet on Friday evening, State Excise Minister Roy, known for his enmity with Dev, said the latter as the Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises erred in laying the foundation stones for NATRIP and CCI units as people could realize that these projects would never materialize.
Roy lambasted Partha Dhar, a trusted lieutenant of Dev, alleging that Dhar’s intolerable pranks had made the people of Silchar alleging to the Congress. Dev, though being informed time and again, turned a blind eye and even accepted it as a challenge when Roy ordered bulldozing of foundation stones bearing Dhar’s name.
Roy further said, he was not surprised that Dev got less votes in Dinesh Prasad Goala’s home constituency Lakhipur, as Dev in the last five years sanctioned just Rs 30 lakhs for this Assembly segments.
Roy said, the newly elected MP of Silchar Kabindra Purkyastha was a gentleman, and hence he could not do anything for the development of Silchar.
He lambasted the BJP MP for making his son the representative for MPLAD fund. Roy said, it was a bad taste.
Roy refused to cough up about his further plan of projecting himself as the candidate for Silchar LS seat. He pushed the ball to the people’s court arguing that if the people of Silchar want him, he would give it a second thought.
Also, being summoned by minister Gautam Roy, Vinod Singhvi, the controversial contractor of Gautam Construction, promised in front of media persons that the Rs 6 crore project of the VIP road would be completed by July 31 and Rs 22 crore projects of various roads of Silchar would be completed by January 2010.
Singhivi who is very close to Sontosh Mohan Dev’s trusted lieutenant Partha Dhar, was summoned by Gautam Roy today at the Silchar Circuit House, where district Congress president Karnendu Bhattacharjee was also present.
Roy virtually lambasted the contractor whose residence was raided by the Excise Department a few months back for not completing the work on time. Roy even asked Singvi how much money he had paid to Dhar.
However, Roy told Singvi that if he needs any co-operation in releasing his due payment, he would definitely help him. THE SENTINEL
