Gogoi lambasts Medha Patkar

Assam Chief Minster Tarun Gogoi on Friday sharply criticized noted social activist Medha Patkar a day after she called upon the people to stand united against the NHPC owned big dams.

Speaking at a function in Guwahati, Gogoi said that big dam would give the state pace of development and that what Patkar said was totally baseless.

Notably, the social activist on Thursday addressed a huge rally in Lakhimpur where she criticized the government for proceeding with the deal with NHPC.
