Dimapur, Jan. 13 (EMN): Continuing the party’s PR assault on the ruling government, two NPF legislators from Zunheboto district jumped the bandwagon on Sunday to criticise the PDA government’s alleged mismanagement of INR 96 cr.
“When the statement of the Leader of NPF legislature party is based on the records of the high level committee, where the years are plainly written, how can the nodal department who is responsible for feeding the data to the HLC contradict the years in question?” read a joint statement from Y Vikheho Swu and Picto Shohe.
“This contradictory statement of the department gives rise to a pertinent question of whether the department had given false data to the high level committee. Are the people responsible to find out the correct data being complacent or is hand in gloves with a few unscrupulous persons to deprive the rural people of Nagaland?”
They pointed out that it has been almost a year now since the inception of the PDA government, headed by Neiphiu Rio “however, it is unfortunate to learn that there have been no new schemes or any other benefits for Nagaland.”
“We would also like to appeal to the people of Nagaland to speak out against the inaction of this handicapped PDA government on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016. This Bill, which will in time become the biggest threat to the indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland and the Northeast in general is being passed without the slightest of opposition from the Government of Nagaland.
“Is the PDA government an NDPP-led government or is it BJP-led government?' The leadership of NDPP needs to ponder on its alliance and introspect on how the government is functioning and under whose direction and dictate.”
