Tuensang, August 6 (MExN): Nagaland Baptist Churches Council’s Clean Election Movement was launched at Tuensang, organized by Chang Baptist Lashong Thangyen at CBLT Conference Hall, Tuensang with the theme ‘My Vote: My Future’ on August 6.
Speaking on the occasion, a DIPR report stated that the Deputy Commissioner & DEO, Kumar Ramnikant encouraged all to keep the message of clean election flowing so that it will reach a wide mass. “A clean electoral roll is the base of the clean election processes. If we manipulate our vote then we are manipulating our rights and selling our identity and the whole process starts there on,” he said. “Being a democratic set up, leaders are chosen by the people and that there should be no proxy or bogus voters and e-roll must be clean,” he added.
The DC sought for the support of everyone to achieve a clean electoral roll. He urged that the public should stop the habit of complaining about the leaders for not bringing changes and development, rather they should at themselves for electing those leaders.
CKS President, Nungsanglemba said that the citizens of the State have a habit of making false electoral rolls. He encouraged the people to help the authorities in cleaning the e-roll so that good leaders can be elected.
District Assistant Election Officer, Tuensang, Renben Mozui encouraged the individuals to identify enrolling genuine voters, strike out absentee voters, to delete the demographically same entries and to delete the inter district and inter constituency multiple entries of the voters. He also requested the PwDs to be identified and get them enrolled. Clean Election Campaign is a thought process and implementation part is a collective responsibility to achieve, he said.
ES CBLT, Rev Achu in his key note address said that the struggles faced today are one’s own doing and urged the gathering to be instruments of change.
Others who attended the event were President CKS, Nungsanglemba; DAEO Tuensang, Renben Mozhui; ES CBLT, Rev Achu Chang; TTBPU President, representatives of GBs, pastors and students of Baptist Thangyen Higher Secondary School, Tuensang.
