Dimapur, April 17
BJP national president Amit Shah today said that BJP would never ally with the opposition Congress in any way and categorically remarked that there can never be the BJP and the Congress in the same camp or in the same government. He explained this while holding a meeting with the party workers here at Chumukedima Police Complex during his maiden visit to state as part of the 12-day extensive tour to northeast region.
BJP chief then discussed on the law and order situation and on the developmental aspect of Nagaland. He said, the NE states including Nagaland do not lack funds and central assistance but corruption at many levels has hampered the developmental projects meant for the grassroot level.
Developmental policies and funds provided by the central government for developmental purposes do not reach the people, he said and urged the party workers to sincerely check corruption so that developmental activities are properly implemented.
The BJP national president assured all the district presidents that party offices would be built in all 11 districts of the state.
He also interacted with various NGOs and civil societies. Amit Shah, accompanied by national general secretary, Ramlal also called on the Governor and discussed with him the law and order situation in the state.
