AGP president Brindaban Goswami alleged Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's that Assam was shrinking under leadership and not shining as claimed by state Rural Development Minister Ripun Bora recently. Mr. Goswami said the Chief Minister had admitted that corruption could not be removed totally from the society and bribes had to be paid for some work. He alleged that Mr Gogoi had patronised corruption and declared that the state administration was corrupt. The AGP president charged Mr Gogoi with being the most corrupt Chief Minister in Assam. He claimed that Mr Gogoi had indulged in large scale corruption in the name of allotment of schemes under NABARD, Prime Minister's Gram Sadak Yojana, NE Council, National Games etc. Meanwhile, United Minority Front chairman H R A Chowdhury, has slammed the Congress government in the state for ''virtually doing nothing for the socio-economic development of the religious and linguistic minorities.'' Mr Chowdhury alleged that the Congress always used the religious minority for its vote-bank politics.
