Kohima, November 4 (MExN): The Nagaland Govt Registered Class-1 Contractors’ Union today made a proposal to the Chief Minister of Nagaland to formulate a policy of ‘selection not Election’ in ensuing Municipal and Town Councils Election.
The government would be appreciated if a policy is formulated before the official announcement of the election to the Urban Local Bodies that there will be “no election but selection of candidate,” the Union President Seyiekuolie stated in a memo to the Chief Minister.
“With a party less or non-opposition party government in the State under your leadership, it will be an opportune time to introduce a proposal by setting up candidate in the Municipal and Town Councils election through selection,” it said.
With only one year left for the State General Election, holding ULBs election at this juncture will incur huge expenditures and hamper the developmental activities, it added justifying its proposal.
Selection not Election will also ensure Transparency, Accountability and Corruption-free government in the State, the Class-1 Contractors further maintained.
