Bangladesh economy better than India’s: Cong

Guwahati, Feb 7 : Assam’s Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi on Sunday said that in terms of economy, Bangladesh is better than India as the BJP government’s misgovernance has failed to deliver the goods in each front.
Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit and address to a public gathering in Assam on Sunday, Gogoi told the media that the Northeast Industrial Policy undertaken by the Congress-led previous UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government has been scrapped by the BJP government led by Modi.
He said : “Modi and present BJP leadership would not accept the contributions of the previous Congress government for Assam, it is understood, but they even forget the contributions of former Prime Minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led government.” The Congress leader said that during the BJP governance in Assam, various corrupt syndicates are proactive in all sectors — industrial to education to welfare schemes.
He said people whoever raised any petty issues or criticise the government they are being harassed by various central agencies causing shrinking of democratic space in the country.
Gogoi, son of former Assam Chief Minister and veteran Congress leader late Tarun Gogoi, said that Modi and his government used CBI, ED, NIA, Income Tax Department against the critics.
