TMC says it will book corrupt once in power

In its manifesto, the party alleged that the current dispensation has completely failed to ensure transparency in governance.

SHILLONG:

Opposition All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee said all perpetrators involved in the alleged various scams will be brought to book.

“If someone has taken people’s aspirations for granted…they will be taken to task. All perpetrators will be taken to task and brought to book and ensure that Meghalaya is able to emerge as a model state in the days to come,” Banerjee told reporters after the launching of the party’s election manifesto on January 24.

In the manifesto, the party has alleged that the current dispensation has completely failed to ensure transparency in governance. The state is marred by multi-crore financial irregularities which has hindered the progress of the state.

The Saubhagya scam, rice scam and the Smart meter scam are just a few in the long list of financial and administrative mismanagement.

The Meghalaya Assembly dome collapse was a result of faulty design and subcontracting the project to disqualified bidders.

The five years of the MDA’s rule have siphoned money out of people’s pockets into the coffers of corrupt leaders.

“Under the inexperienced incumbent government, only old projects and institutions have been inaugurated which were sanctioned by the previous regime. Not only have they failed to implement innovative interventions and projects, but they have also introduced policies against the culture and sentiments of the people”, the party said.

It said that the access to governance facilities is severely restricted under the current dispensation, there is a complete absence of last mile delivery of services.

Thus, owing to the large-scale misrule, there is a deep disconnect between the existing government and the people it was voted to serve. The people have become apathetic to the governance mechanism, it added.
