Cachar Congress war-cry against Dispur

: From our Staff Reporter:
SILCHAR, Jan 27: The Cachar district Congress, ahead of the forthcoming general election, has virtually waged a war against the State Government in a desperate move to re-glorify its image which is blackened by public fury over non-completion of the main road of the town.

An executive meeting of the district Congress attended by its two-decade old president Karnendu Bhattacharjee, Union Minister Sontosh Mohan Dev, State’s Urban Development Ministers Dinesh Prasad Goala, Parliamentary Secretary Ajit Singh and MLAs Bithika Dev and Kutub Ahmed vehemently criticized the Tarun Gogoi-led Government for its “indifferent attitude” towards Barak Valley, particularly to Silchar.

The tempo of the meeting was so high that a visibly excited Bhattacharjee asked all the party MLAs to table their resignation to the government to voice their protest.
He said that during the Language movement in 1960, where 11 picketers had been shot dead in police firing, Congress MLAs tendered their resignation, and that time has again come to repeat.
However, the closed door meeting, held on Saturday night, kept any such step in abeyance for the time being.

A source in the Congress indicated that a team comprising ministers, MLAs MPs as well as block-level representatives would very soon meet the Chief Minister and handover a charter of demands ranging from allocation of land for proposed BHEL project to security in trouble-torn areas of NC Hills for speedy completion of the BG project.

In the meeting, Dev obliquely hinted that Goala and his cabinet colleague Gautom Roy played a hurdle for the construction of the main road of the town. source: sentinel assam
