SHILLONG: Buoyed with the enrolment of forty thousand members in Meghalaya, the BJP is now preparing for a ‘Congress free Meghalaya’ campaign in the State.
A statement from the Meghalaya BJP said on Sunday that the party has reached the target of forty thousand members in the State.
“We are soon launching our active membership drive and mass contact programme to reach out to all members who have joined online. Our National President’s successful visit has further motivated our workers,” the state BJP said.
Understanding the growth of the BJP in Meghalaya and the special attention of Modi Government towards the North East, the ruling Congress in Meghalaya has become restless, the BJP statement claimed.
After being defeated in the last general elections and assembly elections in few states in the country, the Congress party in Meghalaya is sensing that the party is losing ground and therefore the Congress leaders are coming from Delhi and getting agitated and are short of words, the BJP pointed out.
“The reason behind Congress party losing ground is the anti- poor policy of the State Government, rampant corruption, lawlessness, and anti- teachers’ policy, among others,” the State BJP said.
According to the BJP, the ruling party in any state usually speaks well of its achievements and lauds its policy but since the ruling party in Meghalaya has no achievements and no good policy to highlight, it is now attacking the BJP.
“Visiting Congress leaders are well aware of the failure of the State Government and hence, to divert attention, they are speaking against the BJP,” the party said.
“The people in the State are well aware of the achievements of Narendra Modi Government in the last one year, (to be completed within few days from now). The people also appreciate that Modi is seriously working to curb corruption throughout the country which, during the Congress regime, was at its peak and the economy which was in mess during the Congress rule is now back on track,” the state BJP said.
“The Congress party had kept the development of the North East at halt but it is now peaking at a fast pace. The frequent visit of Central Ministers to the State is also becoming a concern for the State Congress leadership because their misdeeds are getting uncovered,” the BJP added.
