BJP demands Meghalaya CM to release PMAY scheme to beneficiaries

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaDecember 21, 2022

BJP leader and Tura MDC Bernard N Marak has accused the National People’s Party (NPP)-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government of not releasing the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) money to the beneficiaries fearing that Modi’s logo will garner more votes to BJP.

“Not releasing PMAY money to the beneficiaries on the grounds that Modi’s logo will garner more votes to BJP is so immature and it is worse, giving wrong information to the beneficiaries that Modiji has taken back the money and only if they vote for NPP the funds will be released. This is so naive,” Marak said in a statement issued on Wednesday.

He also urged the villagers to complain to the nearest BJP office if such things happen and said, “This is too big a scam for MDA partners to indulge in. The backstabbing of the BJP leader continues at the grassroot level which should stop and all pending amounts be released to the beneficiaries at the earliest.”

Marak also demanded the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma to release the PMAY and other centrally sponsored schemes to the beneficiaries.

He said it is wrong to deprive the poor who anticipate Modi schemes in toto as declared by Modiji through media and Mann ki baat adding villagers know the details of these schemes but why it’s not reaching the grassroot level remains a big question.

Stating that the chief minister had praised the Prime Minister’s initiative during his visit last Sunday, Marak said, “And now, we expect CM to deliver to the poor honouring Modiji’s initiative.”
