Meghalaya polls
BJP national spokesperson Nalin Kohli

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday accused Meghalayaโ€™s ruling Congress of โ€œcommunalizingโ€ the February 27 assembly polls in the state instead of replying to the โ€œchargesheetโ€ on the โ€œ15 Years of Loot, 15 Years of Destructionโ€ during its three terms.

โ€œThe Congress party is creating a negative campaign. The Congress party is communalizing this election. The Congress party is running away from its shameful track record. The Congress is unable to answer to the scams against it and unable to say why they have not kept promises made 15 years in Meghalaya,โ€ BJP national spokesperson Nalin Kohli told journalists.

โ€œThe Congress leaders should at least once travel beyond the National Highway between Guwahati and Shillong and realize how there are more potholes and less of roads, how children donโ€™t go to school because teachers are not there, how there is no development,โ€ he asked.

Accusing the Congress of using โ€œdivisive agendaโ€ in seeking public support, Kohli said: โ€œThey are trying to force these agendas and are spreading lies with regards to eating habits, but we have always said political parties donโ€™t decide what food people of an area have or what clothes they wearโ€ฆโ€

On the Congress calling BJP โ€œanti-Christianโ€, he said: โ€œI am charging the Congress party with trying to communalize this election and trying to force the churches into politics which is very unfortunate.โ€
