Kailasahar, Dec 01: The opposition Congress party on Thursday alleged of massive corruption in the Krishi Vigyan Kendra of the Unakoti district.
Addressing a press conference here at Kailasahar congress bhawan on Thursday, the district congress president Md. Badruzzaman alleged of corruption in distribution of potato seeds among the farmers of the Unkaoti district. He alleged of massive corruption in the agriculture sector of the district.
He alleged that a group of BJP leaders and workers are involved with the corruption, where they were found to have deprived the genuine farmers of the Unakoti district from getting them distributed with the potato seeds free of cost by selling them in the open market.
Recently, an initiative has been taken to give financial assistance of Rs.18,000 under the goatery scheme and Rs. 30,000 for piggery, but the list prepared by the Mandal does not include the names of the genuine farmers who are engaged in goetery and piggery farming, he alleged.
He alleged that the names of the booth leaders of the ruling party are found to be included in the beneficiary list rich in that list. The district congress president said that he sought the intervention of the District Magistrate to take cognizance of the corruption and initiate legal action against the culprits involved with this.
He however informed that the congress party will soon mobilize a rally at Kailasahar to show protest against the corruption.
