Kohima, July 12 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee has urged the Governor of Nagaland to immediately intervene by “dismissing the minority government” of Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu and recommend imposition of President’s Rule (PR).
A statement from the NPCC’s Media Cell maintained that PR is warranted “since the state is faced with an extra ordinary situation of political instability with crumbling infrastructures all around that shows no signs of abating”. “The full blown internal power struggle of the NPF has made the continuance of the NPF-BJP government untenable even for the next few months before facing assembly elections,” it added.
The NPCC also took exception to the absence of the Governor during such “crucial” times. “The continued absence of the state Governor during crucial occasions is becoming more of a rule than exception,” it stated.
‘NPF has failed Nagaland’
Meanwhile, the NPCC charged the NPF of having “failed Nagaland and its people”. “After more than 14 years of blatant misrule, their failures are manifesting in every spheres of governance in which the people have started paying a heavy price,” the NPCC stated adding, “Nagaland is now in state of utter ruins.”
It argued that the government has collapsed with majority of the legislators lodged in Kaziranga while roads are vanishing, bridges collapsing and people dying as a result.
“The silence of the people all through the years had emboldened the party in power to indulge in their own power struggle and aggrandizement without any inhibitions,” the NPCC insisted before questioning, “How long can the people of Nagaland tolerate this utter nonsense and whimsical attitude of the NPF government?”
“All NPF leaders are directly responsible for the past 14 years of misrule,” the NPCC maintained before insisting that the “internal power struggle” of the NPF especially during the present term has dealt a “final blow to the already battered state”.
“The NPF or its apologists through print and social media will always find ways to put up ‘circular argument’ against NPCC, but that will not wish away the present state of sordid affairs that has engulfed the entire state,” it added.
‘Supreme sacrifice’
Meanwhile, the NPCC took a sarcastic dig at Khriehu Liezietsu thanking him for making the “supreme sacrifice” of declining to accept the post of Advisor to CM with cabinet status after more than a fortnight “drama”. It also extended thanks to the NPF dissidents lodged in Kaziranga for “substantiating and vindicating” their charge of “nepotism” against the Chief Minister in appointing his son as Advisor.
