Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley on Sunday claimed that the people of Assam were "fed up with the corrupt rule" of the Congress and will vote for a change in the forthcoming assembly polls in the state. "Corruption both at the Centre and the state has made the people angry and they will definitely vote the party out of power in the state," Jaitley,also the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha,said while addressing a BJP's campaign rally at Darbar Field in Sibsagar. The Congress has "created history by the level of corruption in the 2G Spectrum case" where people are not even able to count the number of zeros in the Rs 1.76 lakh crore scam,he said. "If Congress had spent only 10 per cent of money looted in the 2G Spectrum scam in the development of North East,the entire scenario of the region would have been different," he said. The BJP leader alleged that the Congress had done nothing for the development of the region and whatever claims they are making was actually initiated when the BJP-led NDA government ruled at the Centre. Assam is well endowed with oil,tea,coal and water resources but the level of development is very low and as people of the state should give a befitting reply to the Congress on April four and April 11,he claimed. He further alleged that the Congress government has failed to understand the needs of the people and have done nothing to solve the problems of erosion by Brahmaputra and the issue of big dams which has posed great threat to the region.
