IMPHAL, November 14: Only the State`™s Chief Minister has the guts to manipulate the MGNREGA rules for the benefits of the MLAs, BJP Manipur Pradesh general secretary M Asnikumar told media persons at his office chamber.
Clarifying to charges from Congress that the BJP government in the Centre has failed to act on its promises to bring back the black money from foreign countries and check the price rise, he said the new NDA government is unable to do so as the government is trying to fill up the huge deficit incurred on the national treasury during the time of the Congress government.
He said the Modi government has launched the Digital India project which will bring transparency and accountability in every government scheme for the benefit of the people.
As for the black money, the NDA government has already started, he claimed.
He said although price hikes were really frequent under the Congress government, the Modi government has reduced the prices of petroleum products.
This is a plus point for the Modi government, he added.
He said that after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister he had twice sanctioned fund for the construction of the Imphal-Jiribam National Highways-37 and set a target to complete it in 2016.
Rs 111 crore in the first phase and Rs 222 crore in the second phase, he claimed.
The Imphal-Aizwal road has also been upgraded as a National Highway and the DPR for the same has already been prepared by the Centre, he continued.
He added process is underway to upgrade the Jiribam to Tipaimukh Road similarly.
Asnikumar said the lost at Bihar and in Delhi couldn`™t mean the defeat of BJP as the party had managed to claim majority in several other States like Maharashtre, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh.
The BJP has also won the civic bodies election in Kerela, he added.
He further expressed that he is confident of the party winning both the seats of Thongju and Thangmeiband.
He said the people are aware of the Congress government`™s doing, observing that the PDS item distribution has completely failed and irrigation projects are not taken up.
