Phek | July 12
The newly appointed Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) chairman Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu today expressed regret for the present political crisis which is taking place once again in the state, disturbing the minds of the people and bringing development to standstill.
Addressing the monthly meeting of Phek District Planning & Development Board here today, Azo, who is also chairman of DPDB Phek, said this 12th NLA is one of the most disturbing assemblies ever in history of NLA. “It has brought shame, disgrace and belittled the legislators.”
Referring to Nagaland’s governor PB Acharya directing the Chief Minister Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu on July 11 to obtain Vote of Confidence on the floor of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly on or before July 15, he said no confidence motion as per the constitution and rules should be moved by opposition leader and if opposition leader is not there the 10 opposition MLAs through writ petition can move the assembly/speaker for no confidence motion.
Also addressing the DPDB meeting, Minister for PHED Chotisuh Sazo stated that the Governor yesterday had asked Chief Minister to prove his majority on the floor of the House saying he received three letters from TR Zeliang that he commands support of 34 NPF and other 7 independents.
“But this is the political party internal affairs so within the party they cannot move for no confidence motion also and this can be sorted out within the party itself,” he said. Sazo claimed that all government activities are functioning normally, and will function as it is and told the officers not to be worried but function as usual with more sincerity and regularity in discharging their duties.
Earlier, Azo called for judicious use of LADF fund for overall development. “This fund should go to all the villages/towns and it should be community based scheme,” he said, adding it should benefit every village and distributed equally amongst all the villages and towns.
This money should not be used only for pocketing or as party fund, it should be judiciously used for developmental activities for benefit of the masses, he said. “We should change our mindset and aim at community based development.”
