GUWAHATI, March 5 – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Assam Pradesh on Thursday accused the Tarun Gogoi Government of misleading the people of the State in connection with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) inquiry into the nexus between militants and politicians in NC Hills district.

Addressing media persons here, State BJP president Ranjit Dutta said that the Congress Government has been trying to drag BJP’s Kulendra Daulagupu’s name into the alleged militant-politician nexus which was investigated by the NIA.

“The NIA has accused 14 individuals in its chargesheet and Daulagupu’s name is not in this list. His name has come up as a Prosecution Witness,” said Dutta producing a copy of the NIA chargesheet.

The party said that the Congress government has also been using the Manisana Commission report as a weapon to blackmail the opposition.

“While the ASDC-BJP alliance was in power in the NC Hills Autonomous Council, the Congress government always exerted pressure on it,” said Dutta.
