A CORRESPONDENT

DIBRUGARH: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday lambasted the BJP government for not doing anything in the last five-year terms in Dibrugarh Municipal Board (DMB).

Addressing a press conference here, Kamal Das, district coordinator of AAP, Assam said, "The BJP has beating drum of its national schemes but did not utter a word on DMB corruption. Our party fights against corruption and has raised voice for the people. The BJP could not compete five years' term in DMB due allegations of financial irregularities. There are serious charges of financial misappropriation, improper maintenance of main cash book and log books for office vehicles and improper maintenance of records of assets of DMB."

"We appeal to people to vote for AAP this time because our party will raise voice against corruption. If we get the chance, we will work for the welfare of the people," said Das.

Dibrugarh Municipal Board (DMB) is one of the oldest civic bodies in Assam but in the last several years, development has been less compared to other civic bodies.

The BJP has put up candidates in all the 22 seats while the INC is contesting in 19 seats. The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) is contesting in 9 seats followed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 7 seats and Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) in 4.
