Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday continued his attack against Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma and the National People's Party (NPP) accusing the state government of corruption and filling its coffers with poor people's money.
Addressing election rallies in Meghalaya's Rangsakona and DaluHe, the BJP leader said that the Narendra Modi government had provided Rs 24,000 crore for the supply of the water to all the households in Meghalaya, but the money was siphoned off by the state government.
“The central government had approved 2.5 lakh housing units but people did not get them,” Mr Shah said, doubling down on his claim that Conrad Sangma stopped the flow of funds in the state.
The BJP, which was a part of the Conrad Sangma-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government in the state, broke the alliance before the elections and is contesting all the 60 assembly seats.
