Guwahati: The BJP-led government will complete two years in office on Thursday amid its claim of "best deliverance so far" clashing with charges of failure to act on its pre-poll promises.

BJP leaders here claim that welfare projects undertaken by its two-year-old government in Assam and four years at the Centre are as different as "heaven and earth" compared to Congress rule. The Opposition parties accuse it of shunning pre-poll promises of protecting jati, mati and bheti (community, land and home) and check price rise.

"More than 32 crore people in the country got benefits of government's schemes in the past four years, be it free LPG connection, electricity or free treatment under Atal Amrit Abhiyan. Similarly in Assam, students got free admission besides textbooks, women got benefits for their empowerment and farmers are provided free tractors. There is a heaven and earth difference between our deliverance in the past four years compared to any four years of Congress's 60 to 70 years of rule," the general secretary of the BJP's state unit, Dilip Saikia, said.

The BJP will launch a booth-level public meeting from Sunday where beneficiaries of welfare schemes will be invited. The party will also hold meetings with intellectuals, including writers, film persons, singers, sportspersons, religious leaders, traders and trade bodies, organise Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe's conferences, among others, as part of their programme in June.

The Sarbananda Sonowal-led government took oath on May 24, 2016, defeating the Congress which ruled the state for three terms. Sonowal will address the media here on Thursday and the state government has started publicity of its schemes taken up/implemented in the past two years. Sonowal on Wednesday recalled the "challenging" fight against corruption by his government in the past two years.

"It is easy to talk about fighting corruption, but there are a lot of challenges. Now, whichever part of the country I visit, our government is praised for our fight against corruption."

Replying to the BJP's claim, PCC president Ripun Bora said the BJP governments, both at the Centre and the state, are complete failures and at both levels the governments have acted against its pre-poll promises.

"They promised implementation of the Assam Accord, but they are doing just the opposite by bringing in the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and Himanta Biswa Sarma termed it 'irrelevant'. They promised achhe din by controlling prices, but now petrol and diesel prices have reached an all-time high. The BJP governments have failed to protect jati, mati and bheti," Bora told this correspondent.

Saikia, however, said the government's support to NRC update, evictions at Kaziranga National Park and in other parts and study of the land rights problems demonstrate the BJP's commitment to its promises of protecting jati, mati and bheti.

Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia said the BJP's development remained only on paper.
