Shillong, Apr 8: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Meghalaya alleged that the manifesto of the Congress has been made just to gather votes and appealed to the people to vote for the party in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls to be held on April 11.

“The Congress manifesto as it appears has been made just to gather votes of separatists in J&K. There is no all India vision in it and it is a manifesto made for vote bank only. It plans to destroy institutions and help terrorists,” BJP spokesperson Basu Chakraborty said in a statement issued on Monday.

He said the manifesto of the Congress also contained suggestions on media, each one of which will regulate, restrict free journalism and otherwise multiplicity of Indian media.

Chakraborty said, “They have promised to eliminate the laws of sedition against those who do not believe in the Constitution of India. They sympathise those who burn the tricolour, insult it, who raise slogans of dividing India instead of Jai Hind, and those who break the statues of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. They misguide and misrule the state and nation with their camouflaging attitude. The voting power, the strength of democracy is now alert and ready to wipe them out and clean the motherland,” he said.

Appealing to the voters of the state to support the BJP in order to save the nation, the BJP leader said it is confirmed that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an all round leader nationally and internationally.

“He (Modi) proved and established today himself as a real successful leader. Without bifurcation among the people of India, his agenda is…for overall development only. People of the states have full faith on his transparent and non corrupt government,” he said.

Charkraborty further stated that the state is now badly affected economically due to the wrong coal mining policies of the Congress government.
