Assam CM questions source of BJP's poll expenses

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today questioned the source of BJP's huge election expenses and said the Centre's assertion of a non-corrupt government is "just a slogan".
"BJP spent the highest amount in 2014 election among all the parties. They also spent a huge amount in Assam polls this year and it was much more than us. Where have they got this money from?" Gogoi said at a press conference here.
"BJP always talks about corruption of Congress and says their governments are non-corrupt. Then who has given them so much money for election campaigning? Will someone give money without any benefit? Non-corrupt government statement is just a slogan," he added.

BJP has spent a huge amount in advertisements, meetings and other activities during the Assam Assembly polls this year, Gogoi alleged.
He, meanwhile, expressed confidence that Congress will form the government for the fourth consecutive term in the state.
On AgustaWestland chopper scam, he questioned why the Centre was sitting idle for two years and did not arrest the culprits.
"Everyone accepted that there was a scam. Then why are you not catching the culprit? Actually in order to hide its failure and to divert public attention from the basic issues, the NDA Government is blowing the AgustaWestland into a huge issue," Gogoi said.
