DIMAPUR, JULY 14 (MExN): The Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has demanded that the Governor immediately dissolve the present house and impose President’s Rule.
“There is a total breakdown of constitutional machinery in the state and therefore cannot be allowed to continue. The present legislators have failed extremely short of people’s aspirations, hope and expectations in every aspect and hence they have no moral right to continue at all or to claim their stake to form any government,” the CNTC said in a press note today.
It stated that “their immature, foolish and careless acts do not deserve them to be called as elected representatives or leaders anymore and therefore should all resign and step down straight away.” The legislators, it added, have put the “entire Naga people to shame and do not deserve to be our leaders.”
It further said that “if the house is not dissolved immediately, the CNTC will not hesitate to come out in the streets to show them the door if they don’t bow out.” The CNTC cautioned that “before things turn ugly the present legislators are told to step down from their chair or face the wrath of the people.”
“At a time when people are dying and facing countless sufferings, instead of being with the people and shouldering their responsibilities, the legislators shamelessly congregate in the Kaziranga resorts draining people’s money when our roads have almost become like rivers, bridges collapsing, salaries unpaid and a complete failure of every state machinery,” it said.
Claiming that the legislators have “completely lost the people’s confidence,” the CNTC warned that “if they don’t listen to the call they will be taught a lesson.” “There is no need for a floor test anymore as the people’s patience has hit the ceiling already,” it stated.
