Blaming the erstwhile successive Congress governments at the Centre of failing to implement the Assam Accord, state government spokesman Chandra Mohan Patowary Saturday accused it and Left parties of attempting to derail the economic development of the state in their political interests.
Patowary, who is also the state's industries minister, blamed the Congress governments at the Centre for not implementing the Accord for the last 34 years since its signing in 1985.
The Accord had ended the six-year-long movement against foreigners in Assam.
Patowary said, "The Congress has no right to destabilise Assam and derail the state's economic progress in its political interest as the party took no progressive measures during its rule of about 60 years in the state since Independence."
