Guwahati, Jun 2 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Assam Pradesh on Sunday slammed the State Government for recommending action against the elected North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC) and alleged that the ruling Congress has always been plotting to overthrow non-Congress governments.

Addressing mediapersons here, the functionaries of the party made it clear that the BJP had no objection to law taking its own course in the case of certain members of the council, but the entire autonomous council should not be held responsible and suspended in total disregard to democratic aspirations of the people.

“If there are allegations of corruption or involvement in diversion of funds to the coffers of the extremist groups against anybody in the executive committee of the NCHAC, then action should be taken as per the law of the land,” said the BJP.

Terming the recommendation as undemocratic, anti-tribal and against the mandate of the people of NC Hills, the BJP said that it was an attempt by the Congress government to cover up its miserable failure in tackling the present volatile law-and-order situation.

“At a time when the NC Hills is passing through a very critical period in terms of social and political dynamics, suspension of the NCHAC will only further alienate the people of NC Hills,” said the BJP.

On the other hand, referring to the breakdown of the BJP-ASDC alliance, the BJP said that the Congress had succeeded in its machinations and the ASDC in its attempt to cling to power had played to the tunes of the Congress.

“But now the ASDC has paid a heavy price by dancing to the tune of the Congress which sees no use of the ASDC after the Lok Sabha elections,” the BJP said.

The BJP also said that the Congress wanted to keep the NC Hills district a perennial conflict zone for its own advantage.

GUWAHATI, March 18 - The national vice president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the BJP-AGP alliance candidate for the prestigious Guwahati Lok Sabha constituency Bijoya Chakravorty on Tuesday said that the combined force was the only alternative to the Congress. Addressing mediapersons here, Chakravorty said that the AGP-BJP understanding has created fear in the Congress camp and she also asserted that in the future, this alliance will spell the doom of the Congress.

“The AGP and BJP workers and leaders have put up the force with their sincere dedication and in the near future we are confident that we will be able to totally rout the Congress,” said Chakravorty.

The senior BJP leader further said that the coming parliamentary elections would also be a test for the journalists of the State who have been playing a neutral and courageous role in all affairs of the State barring a few.

Chakravorty while singing some more praises of the AGP and the BJP said that unlike the situation in some parties, the leaders of the AGP and the BJP have scaled heights in politics on their own merit and not on the basis of a family lineage.

Divulging her schemes for the Guwahati Lok Sabha constituency on being elected, Chakravorty said that her first priority would be to find a permanent solution to the problem of water scarcity.

“I know the problems of my constituency, whether it is the rural or urban areas, I have studied the problem,” said Chakravorty.

It needs to be mentioned here Chakravorty had won the Lok Sabha elections from the Guwahati constituency in 1999. She had polled 3,84,771 or 45.81 percentage of votes in the constituency that has 10 assembly segments.

Chakravorty also made another election promise by stating that she would try to resolve the problem of the landless people of the capital city.
