TURA: The BJP ticket aspirant from Phulbari constituency, Binoy Ghosh, has criticised local MLA and Assembly Speaker AT Mondal for doing little for the development of the constituency in the past 10 years.
“He (Mondal) has been the MLA for two consecutive terms. He was a minister in the first term and now the Speaker of the assembly but Phulbari has not developed during his tenure. He has failed to live up to people’s expectations,” said Ghosh who is planning to take on the Congress legislator in the upcoming elections.
The biggest indicator of underdevelopment of the region was the Agia-Medhipara-Phulbari-Tikrikilla road, Ghosh said.
He added, “The pathetic road condition is an eyesore for everyone and people are suffering due to lack of repair. It is the proof of the Congress government’s failure in the state and its representative in Phulbari,” thundered Ghosh in an interaction with media persons at Phulbari on Sunday.
)Earlier this month, BJP national president Amit Shah had said the Centre allotted Rs 9,000 crore was sanctioned for the Agia-Mendipathar-Tura road and Rs 2,800 crore for Mankachar-Mahendraganj road.
Ghosh also raised the alleged delay in distribution of MLA schemes and questioned the last minute distribution of CGI sheets.
“For five long years he was nowhere to be seen and only now he is giving out CGI sheets? Where are the rest of the MLA schemes? He has to be accountable to the electorate of Phulbari,” demanded the BJP leader.
The Phulbari constituency is expected to witness a multi-contest with the current heavyweights being Mondol of the Congress, SG Esmatur Momin of NPP, Ghosh of BJP and Independent Mark Goera B Marak.
