Shillong: TMC Member of Parliament from Rajya Sabha Derek O’Brien on Friday praised Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his honesty, which he claimed was a “rare occurrence”.
During a public meeting in Garo Hills on Thursday, Shah stated that Meghalaya is one of the most corrupt states in the country. Shah went on to say that if corruption were to be quantified, the current government’s incompetence would place Meghalaya at the top of the list.
In response to Shah’s statement, O’Brien spoke at a public meeting in Shillong on Friday, stating that the BJP, which is part of the current MDA, is now claiming that it wants to remove the corrupt government.
O’Brien commended Amit Shah for speaking the truth for once in the past four years and argued that this exposed the falsehoods propagated by others.
O’Brien also expressed the TMC’s enthusiasm and good intentions, stating that they are trying their best.
