SHILLONG, Feb 14: TMC Parliamentary Party leader, Derek O’Brien on Tuesday promised that once voted to power in Meghalaya, the party would ensure that all the promises mentioned in the manifesto are implemented within 100 days.
He made the claim while addressing a public meeting at Iawmusiang Market in support of TMC’s Jowai candidate Andrew Shullai.
“After our Jowai candidate Andrew Shullai becomes MLA and Meghalaya TMC forms the government in the state, we will deliver on our promises within 100 days,” O’Brien said.
Dismissing negative propaganda against Meghalaya TMC’s schemes – WE Card and MYE Card – which are said to have collectively received nearly 8 lakh registrations, the TMC parliamentarian said, “When some people get elected as MLA, they become salespersons. However, through these schemes, we are giving back what belongs to the people.”
The TMC leader also stressed that education, health, employment, and road infrastructure are the basic requirements of people.
“Money cannot win you hearts and minds. We believe we have the best candidate to serve the people of Jowai. The people of Jowai and voters across Meghalaya have made up their minds. This time they want a change,” he said.
