"A responsible minister should not mislead the people without verifying facts by asserting that the Centre had pumped huge funds into Assam for development," Gogoi said in a statement here today.
"There is vast difference between what the HRD Minister said and the actual picture on the ground. The Centre has slashed development funds under centrally sponsored schemes," he said.
The centre may have cut central funds to Assam but the state government will continue with the implementation of schemes out of its own resources, he said.
