Guwahati, Mar 16: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday came down heavily on Nagaon MP Pradyut Bordoloi and threatened legal action against him for alleging that the state government has signed a memorandum of understanding with a company that gave donation to the BJP via electoral bonds.
Sarma vehemently denied these allegations, dismissing them as baseless and devoid of factual basis.
Earlier, Bordoloi had reposted a tweet of a person who alleged that the Assam government had signed an MoU with a firm named Bright Star Investments and shared a donors’ list, in which the firm’s name figured, along with amounts donated to BJP.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma labelled Bordoloi’s claims as defamatory and asserted that there are no commercial links between himself and the firm.
According to Sarma, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) mentioned by Bordoloi pertains to a philanthropic donation from the firm to the Assam government.
The donation is intended for the construction of the Pragjyotishpur Medical College, a project currently underway and set to be dedicated to the public in the near future, clarified the Assam chief minister.
Later, Assam Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi responded to the Assam chief minister’s legal action warning by stating that he welcomes “any such move by the government of Assam”.
