SHILLONG: The BJP, , which is also part of the ruling Meghalaya Democratic Alliance, threatened to pullout of the National People’s Party-led government in Meghalaya over alleged corrupt practices in the implementation of the multi-crore special assistant grant to the tribal autonomous councils here.
The party state president Ernest Mawrie has also demanded a CBI inquiry into what it alleged is a scam in the implementation of the SAG funds.
“It is very unfortunate that the SAG funds meant for the development of areas under the two ADCs – Garo Hills Autonomous District Council(GHADC) and Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) – have been misused by the ruling party i.e. the NPP. There is blatant corruption in the two ADCs” he said
According to the state BJP chief over Rs 20 crore of SAG development fund have been diverted for other payments violating the guidelines.
