Guwahati: India’s northeastern region is witnessing wind of change and it is a bit too early. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at New Delhi has utterly failed to impress the people of the region with their actions so far, rather they are angry.
After a series of developments which went against the will of the region, now the BJP led government has decided to give green signal to the 2000 MW Lower Subansiri Hydroelectric Power Project (LSHEP).
AGP working president Atul Bora termed the BJP as a party of double-speak. The people of the state have been opposing the mega dam projects for quite a long time. During the course of their agitation, they have been subjected to harassment and atrocities by the police.
“The BJP has been maintaining dual standard on everything. They speak something else before the election and work the opposite after the election. They have cheated the people of the region by playing with the emotion of the common people. We condemn their act and we will oppose it to the best possible manner,” Bora said.
Ironically, the BJP lent its support to the people’s movement on the issue prior to the Lok Sabha polls only to attract the votes of the people. But the real face of the BJP has now come to the open, Bora said.
The present union home minister Rajnath Singh also took part in a mass anti-dam movement in 2010.
