TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Rahul Gandhi has appealed to the people of Tripura to vote for the Congress to bring good governance, saying unlike the BJP, his party does not make false promises.
Alleging that neither the CPI(M) nor the BJP pay attention to development, he said the Congress is the only party which can deliver on its poll promises and will form government at the centre in 2019. The Congress president was in Kailashahar to canvas for his party on the last day of campaigning in the north eastern state ruled by CPI(M)-Left Front for almost 25 years.
“What the Congress pledges, it implements. It does not make any false promise of something it cannot implement. If we come to power, we would implement what we have pledged,” he said. The BJP has assured the people here to pay Rs. 340 as wage for MGNREGA if it came to power, but in Assam it is paying Rs. 184 as wages, Mr Gandhi alleged.
The BJP also promised to implement the rewards of the 7th Pay Commission recommendation for the employees of the state and the same assurance had been given to the people of Assam by the saffron party, but it did not implement it there, Mr. Gandhi claimed. “The BJP always makes tall promises before the elections, but never implements what it assures,” he said.
