China building dam on Brahmaputra but BJP govt. silent, says Priyanka

Nazira: Congress General Secretary Smt. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra slammed the BJP government for not objecting to China building a dam on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra in Tibet, which would affect the life and economy of the people in Assam.

Addressing election rallies at Jorhat, Nazira and Khumtai in eastern Assam, Smt. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that the dam being built by China would damage the ecology associated with the Brahmaputra.

“The Prime Minister has campaigned in Assam several times but said not a word on this vital issue. He did not even try to prevent China from constructing the mega dam,” she said.
