Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday claimed that only a few families have benefited from central welfare schemes in Meghalaya.

Addressing several rallies at Mahendraganj, Rongjeng, Mendipathar and Kharkutta, Sarma said only the BJP can ensure that all benefits reach the people of Meghalaya.

“Only a few families in Meghalaya have benefited from important schemes like the PM-Awas Yojana,” he said.

Listing the welfare schemes launched by his government in Assam, Sarma said the BJP would give similar benefits in Meghalaya if voted to power.

“BJP had promised jobs to 1 lakh youth in Assam last year. Already 50,000 people have been given appointments and the rest will get appointments by May this year.”

Stating that the youth of Meghalaya were burdened with unemployment, he said that only the BJP could ensure sustainable development in the state which would generate employment opportunities. PTI JOP SOM SOM
