Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on September 15 held a press conference addressing a matter of significant public concern regarding the allocation of government grants and land acquisition in Assam.
Assam Subsidy Row
MP Gogoi made a crucial call for the resignation of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in view of recent developments.
The controversy revolves around the approval of Rs 10 crore in government grants under the PMKSY scheme to M/S Pride East Entertainment, a company owned by Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, the wife of CM Sarma.
Addressing a press conference in Golaghat, Gogoi raised serious ethical questions on the alleged allocation of government grants, asserting that it hardly matters as to how much money has been credited to the Chief Minister’s family’s accounts, wherein the government subsidies should have been directed towards the local entrepreneurs and farmers who genuinely needed it.
Further, MP Gogoi voiced the concerns of the people of Assam who are grappling with high inflation.
