ADOKGRE, North Garo Hills: Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee president, Celestine Lyngdoh on Saturday appealed to people here to vote for party candidate for Tura Lok Sabha constituency, Mukul Sangma, who he said was the more experienced and able candidate among the three in fray to address the issues of Garo Hills in Delhi.
Addressing a rally while campaigning for the former Meghalaya chief minister who kicked of his North Garo Hills campaign here on Saturday afternoon, Lyngdoh said there was no comparison between Mukul Sangma and the other candidates in the fray, Agatha Sangma of National People’s Party and Rikman G Momin of Bharatiya Janata Party.
“He (Mukul) is like gold while the others in the fray are like bronze and tin. So, when I was on my way from Shillong to here, I was trying to compare but could not. Dr Mukul is experienced and has a long track record of good governance, performance and good delivery mechanism as CM. There is no better candidate than Mukul Sangma for Tura LS seat,” the MPCC president said.
The MPCC president said Congress candidate and sitting MP, Vincent Pala would win for the third time in Shillong parliamentary constituency.
He further said the people have lost faith in the BJP-led government at the Centre who had promised 1 crore jobs to youths and Rs 15 lakh per account apart from bringing down prices of essential commodities, before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, but could not fulfill.
“But they have failed to live up to those big promises in the past five years which is why BJP lost in the Assembly elections in three states last year, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh,” he said.
Lyngdoh also said that Congress would improve on the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) from 100 days to 150 days if it comes to power in Delhi.
“The NREGS, planned, designed and implemented by Congress, has changed lives of people in the nook and corner of rural India,” he said.
He further stated that the party would also fill up the 22 lakh job vacancies across departments in state and Centre if it came to power.
