NPCC Political Affairs Committee Questions NPF led DAN Government

The PAC seriously views the non performance of the NPF led DAN govt which has become immune to the woes and sufferings of the people. The total collapse of the state govt machinery on law and order front, the rampant unabated taxation by different organisations compounding the harassment of business community and burdening the public, the deplorable condition of roads across the state, the total apathy towards education sector by downgrading of 129 GHS, the random creation/ upgradation of administrative HQs without proper infrastructure, the inability to hold elections to local bodies are some of the major failures of the NPF led DAN govt for the past decade.

Since issues of public importance cannot be brushed aside, the NPF led DAN govt will have to answer the following questions on matters of governance where it faltered badly.

1. What happened to the promise made during 2003 state assembly elections by the NPF and its coalition partners of bringing solution to the Naga political problem within three months if voted to power? After 11 years in power, the NPF led DAN govt is still searching for that elusive solution.

2. Why the Hon’ble Chief Minister choose to remain silent on the entire Mukalimi episode when he is always quick to voice his support on issues concerning outsiders? Is the Chief Minister unhappy with a particular tribe for demanding punishment of criminals belonging to NSCN (IM) who had the audacity to outrage the modesty of a lady or whether the Chief Minister wanted the confrontation and bloodbath to continue?

3. What action is being taken by the NPF led DAN govt on the plight faced by the Rengmas of Assam who have been displaced from their homes in which they have been settled for centuries?

4. Why allow a chargesheeted criminal Imkong L Imchen to continue as Minister? Is Imkong L Imchen so powerful that the DAN govt is unable to take any action against him?

5. Why corruption has reached its zenith under the NPF led DAN govt? What has the Govt done to curb its menace?

6. Why there has been no action to curb the menace of unabated taxation that has severely crippled the state economy?

7. Why the state deficit has ballooned to unmanageable level despite enough budgetary allocation from the centre for the past decade?

8. Why drives the state govt on a borrowing spree with high rate of interest from different Financial Institutions? Why loans and advances are taken well above the permissible limit to land the state into a possible debt trap?

9. What prevents the state govt from submitting the Utilization Certificates for 2012-13 which has affected the state allocation from the centre during the current FY 2013-14?

10. Why the state govt failed to bring out “Works Programme” for 2013-14? Was it a gift to the people in commemorating the 50th Anniversary of statehood?

11. Why is the NPF led DAN govt scarred of holding local elections to municipal and town councils for the past four years on one pretext or the other? Is it a ploy to keep appointing NPF party workers as Chief Advisers and Advisers without any accountability and reduce the relevancy of these local bodies to a mere tax collecting agency without any visible development on ground?

12. What prompted the state govt to downgrade 129 GHS out of 147 newly upgraded GHS?

13. Why are the newly created/ upgraded Administrative headquarters not fully functional after gaining enough political mileage during 2013 assembly election?
