TURA: Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma has called his political opponents running a memorandum manufacturing industry.
He was replying to barbs at him by the opposition which accused him of running a foundation stone manufacturing factory in the light of several foundation stone laying ceremonies attended by him before the announcement of elections.
“If I run a foundation stone factory then my opponents must surely run a memorandum manufacturing industry because they are always the first to rush to New Delhi to submit a memorandum on every issue which is then photographed and posted on social media,” said the chief minister sarcastically.
Taking pot shots at his bête noire, Tura MP Conrad K Sangma, the chief minister ridiculed him as someone who failed to get his facts right.
“The NPP president Conrad Sangma during a recent election rally at Phulbari attacked the Congress over the AMPT road condition. He said he would demand from the central government a special road project to upgrade it into a national highway. He does not know that the sanction for the road project has already been cleared by my government. He (Conrad) should do his homework,” said Mukul Sangma as he went hammer and tongs against the NPP president.
The chief minister claimed that the delay in starting the Agia-Medhipara-Phulbari-Tikrikilla road project was because of the large scale funding required for the project.
