Making the statement, All India Congress Committee (AICC) media coordinator, Bobeeta Sharma told reporters that the BJP always piggy rides on the regional parties and then they swallow up the regional parties.
She said the same thing happened with the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). “They (BJP) have no candidates in Assam but they rode on the back of the AGP and then they tried to make inroads into the political scene of the state of Assam.”
“When you come from Guwahati you see so many posters of the BJP as if it (Meghalaya) is a BJP state. This is not a BJP state as they have only two MLAs but NPP will soon be swallowed by the BJP, that is the message they are giving and that is why they are not pulling out as they have their own interest in hand,” Sharma warned.
She said in fact the BJP state president Ernest Mawrie had himself made a press statement calling the NPP-led MDA government the most corrupt government.
“So you can imagine that if an ally himself says that his government is corrupt but at the same time with all due respect to Ernest Mawrie he very earnestly had the press meet but he did not take any action with all earnestness – so you can imagine his good intention in saying that. On one hand you see that the BJP talks about the NPP being corrupt but they don’t do anything about it,” she added.
