Over the last 10 years, we have seen that the Jal Shakti Department of the BJP government is repeatedly giving embankment projects to contractors who construct broken embankments or are not able to do their job properly while constructing embankments, but even after that. of that, the same contractor gets work again and again," Gogoi said.
He also mentioned that the BJP doesn't really want a permanent and long-term solution.
