NONGSTOIN: The KSU Mawthadraishan Circle had sought clarification from Dr Advisor Pariong, the Congress candidate from Nongstoin, on the alleged diversion of schemes from the Special Rural Works Programme (SWRP) from erstwhile Pariong to Nongstoin constituency.
In a press statement issued by GK Syiem, vice president of the KSU Mawthadraishan Circle, the Union expressed shock over media reports that Dr Pariong had donated an ambulance to a local taxi union in Nongstoin.
The Union also alleged that the ambulance belonged to the people of Pariong and it was a part of the SWRP scheme for the constituency.
The KSU alleged that all the playgrounds and roads that were constructed in Nongstoin at Dr Pariong’s behest were schemes which were diverted from Pariong and actually belonged to the people of Pariong. The Union also stated that when Dr Pariong was the Health Minister of the State, he had promised various schemes for people of Pariong from the MLA Local Area Development Scheme, but the schemes were yet to be allotted.
Alleging that the legislator had done nothing for the people of Pariong, the KSU challenged him to name a single scheme that he had provided to Pariong.
The Union has asked Dr Pariong to return all the schemes allotted to Nongstoin to Pariong before the election.
