SHILLONG: Meghalaya BJP has strongly opposed the introduction of central bonded warehouse (CBW) in the state, maintaining that centralizing the bonded warehouse was not going to benefit the 44 bond owners in state but would instead “greatly benefit only four owners” who will control the entire system of supply.
“The CBW was abolished in Rajasthan when the BJP government found that it was not helping the state as only a few were benefiting out of it. The CBW is often controlled by some individuals who make maximum profit for their political bosses, which ultimately leads to the mafia system of functioning,” a BJP statement said.
“BJP does not want Meghalaya to become a mafia-ruled state... and now CBW will turn into another corruption,” the statement, signed by state BJP president Ernest Mawrie, said.
