Dimapur, February 27 (MExN): NPCC President K Therie today assured that given the opportunity, the Congress will provide “safety and security to the people, deliver welfare schemes, MGNREGA, PDS and ICDS benefits, old-age pensions, cashless health cards to all, roads, uninterrupted power supply, drinking water, one classroom across the State, job oriented departmental projects, peaceful business, etc.” He said this during the last leg of the Mass Contact for Change tour at Congress Bhavan in Dimapur on February 27.
A press release from NPCC Media Cell said that Therie further urged the party workers to tell the people about the party’s commitments and programmes spelt out in the Roadmaps. Affirming that the wish of the people will be the wish of the Congress party, Therie urged the Dimapur ACCs to plan and prepare the district to face the challenges of future growth and to assure the Roadmap commitments in 100% to the people, if voted to power.
Meanwhile, the NPCC President maintained that India is today divided between communalism and secularism and the nation’s economy is crumbling while its credibility is diminishing. “After Modi toured 37 countries in 22 months, foreign investment has dropped down by 75% during 2015 comparing to the previous year. BJP is in descending trend in both politics and economy,” he stated.
Therie further said that like the BJP party being divided in the nation, the failures of the NPF are compounded with bitter divisions in the State, according to the press release. Alleging that NPF has no policy for the people, he criticized the NPF Government for its failure to provide safety and security to life and property of the public, failure to deliver welfare schemes, check corruption, provide roads, power, economic sustenance, etc.
Referring to the defection of 8 Congress MLAs, he called for the people to elect god-fearing leaders who will uphold the party principles and the peoples’ mandate through thick and thin and provide clean governance. He also urged party workers to always keep open the doors and minds of the party for the people, to earn their support and maintain contact with the masses.
Meanwhile, Working President, NPCC, Ayang Aonok took the party workers through the history of the party and said that 2017 will be the year of polarization. Saying that the inner turmoil and division within the NPF will bring an upheaval within the party, he exuded confidence and urged the party workers to be strong and look forward to strengthen the party. He also informed that reorganizational exercises will be carried out soon.
General Secretary, NPCC, Dokiu Kecham, encouraged the party workers saying that the seeds sown in Dimapur will always continue to produce results and that the party will always have open gates for the public. He also assured that given opportunity, the Congress will form a pro-poor Government and the authority of various levels of governance will be restored right till the village level.
During the meeting, the house also passed a resolution to stand together and cooperate with the police and administration to protect life and property of the people and also to urge the Administration, Police and Judiciary to deliver justice without delay to stop recurrences, the release said.
