It is very strange to see how the Government of Nagaland led by the NPF is functioning. In fact, it’s annoying. The policies and programs of the government is in fiasco which the policy makers need to reframe and check its weak point. As a student, I would like to throw some points which need to be studied by the “oppositionless” government.
Firstly, what is more important to you, Sirs? Voters or Hornbill? Especcially when your voters are in miserable condition with no proper road connectivity, pathetic health sector, pitiful education system and what not! And you are so keen to honor the bird’s name? Now as the Hornbill season arrives, we can see you all becoming proactive and smart in everything. Our capital roads are turning black overnight. And traditional gates from Airport to Kisama! Woooowww... It’s a great achievement of the year by your government. Big Congratulations Sirs but let us not see the same potholes, irregular electricity, water scarcity that we had from January till first week of November after the 10th of December.Secondly, when are you releasing teachers’ salaries and scholarship meant for the students? In case you have forgotten, please allow me to remind you that the Hornbill is just a bird with no value and contributes nothing to the state and its subject but only spoils thousands of young lives in one or other ways. However, the teachers are the pillars of the society and if they are the pillars of society, then they are the role model. If you see any sound contribution being made by Nagas, it is because of the teachers who moulded and shaped them and I’m pretty sure that even you have your own teachers so respect and honor them rather than honoring the Hornbill. You should also remember that if you dally with them, you are also dallying with thousands of people. Therefore, let us end this game and respect our mentors.
Students are also asking only their share: nothing more, nothing less is our stand. If you can organize such a massive festival, then why can’t you pay someone’s share? If you aren’t doing this for surplus, then why you save in your personal account? Just release it and distribute. Or you aren’t satisfied with what you get from other schemes illegally? We are very ready to face any game, if needed.
Thirdly, Sirs, please do visit Eastern Nagaland by road. Farmers are waiting for you with numerous type of delicious cuisines and yam and they want you to taste them! The farmers are waiting for the white day to see good communication you have promised. They don’t want to go for long bumpy rides to get good treatment and some are losing their lives waiting for your homecoming with the good health facilities that you have promised them and some have even withheld their wards from departing for higher degree courses with plenty of desire that their region will soon have smart educational institutions like you screamed. They also want to see you once in a blue moon, they remember your fresh and handsome faces that appeared during your campaign. So Sirs, please take their hope and desire into consideration which we will be obliged and will do the same favor in the coming 2018 election.
No human beings of this century can survive without road but thanked God! The people of Eastern Nagaland can grapple it and this reminds us of our forefathers; how they walked to neighbouring state Assam only to get salt for the survival. We deserve better treatment by now and so please stop ill treatment to us.
Fourthly, Sirs, we elected you to serve us and not to exploit us. During election period, you even promised us with Moon and Stars but surprisingly, after the election we were compelled to shoot down the moon and the stars even to get an appointment to enter your premises. If you can’t entertain your own voters, then how can we expect other non-voters to see you? As soon as you get elected you people rushed to Delhi to gain the new strategies; how to rob the public, how to do excess deposit in your personal accounts to meet with international based architect for your mansion, to learn the procedure of how to ship your latest luxurious cars. Kudos Sirs, you are doing something though the voters get nothing out of it but only benefit you and your kins.
Lastly but not the least, Sirs, please do not repeat the same blunder when you decide to visit us in next election. Do not come with the same manifesto that is full of fake policies and programs and bundle of lies but be polite and honest as Christian politicians because it says honesty is the best policy and maybe it will help you even in your next run to get the seat in NLA. See you in next battle but as of now, I have decided to vote for NOTA and I won’t regret if my candidate don’t serve me justice.
Lastly, may the Nagaland Government nominate for the “NOTHING AWARD”; developing nothing, bringing nothing, creating nothing, generating nothing, remaining nothing and what more nothing?
(I hope all the elected leaders could read my short article in simple English. I used only common lexicon so that you won’t spend your precious time flipping your Oxford Dictionary and this will give you more time to play Cards, Ludo, Carrom board and of course to party).
