The Congress MP hit again on the chief minister by saying he welcomes any transfer to prosecute him.
Guwahati:
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday threatened authorized motion towards Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi over his social media posts alleging corruption by the BJP by way of electoral bonds.
The Congress MP from Nagaon shared a publish from a person claiming the Assam authorities had signed an memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a agency which has donated to the BJP. “As the #ElectoralBondScam unveils how deep rooted corruption in the BJP is, here is a case of how fraudulent ‘development’ has played out in Assam! Not long before the house of cards comes tumbling down,” Mr Bordoloi stated in a publish on X.
Responding to the allegation, the Assam chief minister stated his accusations had been “devoid of any facts and are entirely baseless.”
“Through these defamatory statements alleging quid pro quo between Govt of Assam and M/s Bright Star Investments, Hon’ble MP has invited grounds for legal action by the State. The Govt of Assam has absolutely no commercial linkage with the said firm. The MoU mentioned is only a philanthropic donation by the said firm to the state government for constructing the Pragjyotishpur Medical College, work on which is going on swiftly and will be dedicated to the people in the coming days,” the chief minister stated.
The Congress MP hit again on the chief minister by saying he welcomes any transfer to prosecute him. Doubling down on his allegations, Mr Bordoloi named one other donor which he claimed was given a development mission beneath an analogous deal.
“I certainly welcome any such move of the Govt of Assam to prosecute me for pointing out the tip of the iceberg of a huge racket called Electoral Bonds! It will provide opportunity to cross examine & have skeletons tumble out of BJP govt’s cupboard. HCM (Hon’ble Chief Minister) ishould not forget that the EB (Electoral Bonds) scam has been unearthed on direction of the Hon’ble SC to invite public probity – integral to democracy,” he stated.
