Sivasagar, March 23: While addressing an election rally for Sivasagar BJP candidate Surobhi Rajkumari on Monday in Palasani, near here, the Chief Minister Sarbanada Sonowal said that the meritorious students were deprived of government jobs by ‘cash for jobs’ gang in the APSC when the Congress party was in power in Assam. But today the scene has changed dramatically during BJP tenue and the present government has dismissed over 60 government officers and 245 were arrested in Assam in the course of the cleansing operation done by the government.

Sonowal also said that the BJP government has in five years planted 10 crore tree saplings which have added to 222 sq km of additional forest coverage. The Chief Minister said that there is no place for dalals (middle men) in the present government set up. He called upon the voters of the prestigious Sivasagar LAC to vote for Surobhi for speedy development of the constituency.
