Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today released a 20-point ‘charge sheet’ against the BJP-led government in Assam, accusing the state administration of indulging in corruption and using its machinery to instil fear among minorities.
The ‘charge sheet’ was released in Guwahati ahead of the assembly elections.
The Congress alleged that the BJP government failed to keep its assurances of granting ST status to six indigenous communities and increasing the daily wage of tea garden workers to Rs 351 during its decade-long regime.
The Congress also charged the BJP-led government with “rampant corruption”.
The party accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, his close ministers and their family members of “accumulating wealth illegally”.
Priyanka, who is the chairperson of the party’s candidate screening committee for the Assam polls, arrived in Guwahati this morning on a two-day visit to the state. Straight from the airport, she went to the Kamakhya temple to offer prayers before proceeding to Rajiv Bhavan where she will hold discussions with party leaders and workers on poll preparations.
