Bernard asks people to vote out MDA

TURA, Nov 30: Tura MDC Bernard N Marak on Wednesday called on the people of Garo Hills to vote out the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) Government in the upcoming Assembly elections, for ‘failing’ the people with regard to various centrally sponsored schemes.
“Government should release the pending scholarships for the students and the amounts due for the pension, PMAY, IHHL and other centrally sponsored beneficiaries. Even the contractual nurses, teachers and other employees are facing similar problems. Students, employees and aged people are facing immense difficulties in sustaining themselves under the MDA government,” Bernard said.
The Tura MDC said that people come to the BJP for a solution to their problems, which are apprised to the Centre, but the main problem persists because of the state government.
“State government should take initiatives to solve these issues at the earliest as amounts sanctioned by the Centre should reach the beneficiaries instead of getting delayed on baseless excuses. Centre wants good governance, maintaining transparency and prompt service to the public but here the situation is just the other way round as some political agenda continues to point fingers at the central government instead of rectifying the issues,” he added.
