Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday accused the Congress for the ‘fiasco’ in Arunachal Pradesh and said the President’s Rule was imposed due to the infighting in that party and rampant corruption. He said the Congress has imposed President’s Rule more than 100 times on flimsy grounds, including in Arunachal Pradesh, in the past.
“President’s Rule is imposed only in a special case. The Congress had imposed PR more than 100 times on flimsy grounds,” he said in a Facebook post after Central rule was imposed in the border State.
Rijiju said the Congress must apologise to the people of Arunachal Pradesh for failing to remain as united, corruption-free and accountable to the people. The Union Minister of State for Home said the Congress MlAs were not small kids who can be forced by others.
“If the Centre was in a hurry it could have intervened when the Assembly was sealed or when Raj Bhavan was seized with ugly slaughtering of precious Mithuns, closing and burning of tyres at Raj Bhavan roads by Congress leaders,” he said.
According to Rijiju, the Centre acted only when no option was left and the President is fully satisfied with the Cabinet decision. “The more Congress tries to blame others by hiding their gross failure the more they will be exposed as they are the only party who ruled Arunachal for more then 40 years,” he said.
Rijiju said people of Arunachal will not be fooled repeatedly. “Now for the first time we have changed the Congress government decision and taken a historic decision to oppose Citizenship to Chakma-Hajong as AP ST inside Arunachal,” he said.
“People know who looted the public money in Arunachal. Public knows which leaders believe in violence, booth capturing and manipulations with record 11 MlAs unopposed in the last Assembly election in Arunachal Pradesh”, he said.
