‘Meghalaya CM doing family politics’: Amit Shah slams NPP

TIL Desk/National/Shillong/ Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday criticised the National People’s Party (NPP), alleging that the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government headed by the NPP is involved in corruption, and Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma has been doing family politics.

This is not the first time the BJP has slammed the NPP. Earlier, party president J.P. Nadda had also lashed out at the MDA government. Addressing two election rallies in Meghalaya’s Rangsakona and Dalu, in a scathing attack on incumbent Chief Minister Sangma and former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, Shah said that all the chief ministers in Meghalaya does not work for the development of the state, but for their families.

Saying that for the supply of water to all the households of Meghalaya, the Narendra Modi government has provided Rs 24,000 crore but the amount was “siphoned off”. Shah further promised that if the BJP government comes in power in the state, all households would get electricity, housing and tap water.
