 "CM Tarun Gogoi takes on Smriti Irani, slams Centre for slashing development funds")
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Monday alleged that Union Minister for Human Resource Development Smriti Irani was misleading people by saying the Centre has not slashed development funds for Assam.
“A responsible minister should not mislead the people without verifying facts by asserting that the Centre had pumped huge funds into Assam for development,” Gogoi said in a statement on Monday.
“There is vast difference between what the HRD Minister said and the actual picture on the ground. The Centre has slashed development funds under centrally sponsored schemes,” he said.
The centre may have cut central funds to Assam but the state government will continue with the implementation of schemes out of its own resources, he said.
“We will not allow development to slow down and the people of Assam will witness more development and pro-poor activities in the coming days,” Gogoi added.
