During the press conference, Sanjay Kumar Deb criticised the BJP-led government both at the Union and state levels for failing to fulfill their promises made before the assembly and Lok Sabha elections. He highlighted issues such as price inflation of essential commodities, unemployment problems, border issues, and alleged corruption related to electoral bonds.
Deb emphasised that Assam Jatiya Parishad was formed to safeguard the interests of Assam’s people, culture, and land. He asserted that Assam and Assamese people will never accept the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act at any cost, and if the INDIA Bloc Government comes into power, their first duty will be to scrap the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Deb also expressed concerns about the Northeastern Coalfields Coal India Ltd. in Margherita, stating that it is the largest ‘Maharatna’ company in the country but is now facing difficulties. He attributed this to rampant illegal coal mining, which has led to the cessation of coal production in several collieries. Deb emphasised the need for legal extraction of coal through scientific methods and the closure of illegal mining operations to generate employment and revenue for the region.
