Which is more important, water supply, electricity or good leaders?

Those who voted for good leaders had this to say: (67%)

• Water supply, electricity etc is a basic need for the people. But good leaders are a rare jewel and good leaders can do more than water supply, electricity. We must remember that a country is identified by its leaders. A good leader is really the first basic needs of our society in Nagaland.

• If the Leader is GOOD you naturally get the every day basic needs including water and electricity. 

• Good leaders will make sure that all water supplies and electricity are in a proper

• Order and so obviously good leaders are more important for the others will follow suit.

• For all societies it is very important to have good leaders first if we can ever expect any progress and development. For instance, water supply or Electricity would automatically come if we have good leaders who can deliver good governance.

• Good leaders are more important because if there is good leaders then there will be no problem of water supply and electricity.

• When there is a good leader, the leader can mobilize and take care of the necessities of people whether it may be water supply, electricity, road or so on. It fully depends on the leader. This is the experience of everyone. We have our local minister or local MLA but if the leader is bad, the public suffer. So in my opinion a good leader is the most important

• Good leaders good governance! How is that?

• I choose good leaders because they will make sure the various departments like water supply will function even without bribes!

• If only having 24 hours electricity and having adequate water supply can breed good leaders! Come to think of it, there were times when there was no electricity and no system of running taps and yet there were many good leaders in the Naga society.

• Even in today’s time, the village GBs and the village elders who don’t enjoy any of the two are better leaders than our so call leaders in the State and Assembly. Only good leaders can change the mind set and the living standard of the Naga society. By good leaders we expect a hardworking, educated, honest, no nonsense person who believe in living life with dignity and labour nothing less!!!

• Because, Nagas are good hosts.

• Good leader leads his people.

• Without electricity (no work can be done) kabhi kam nehi jalika yaaarrr!!!!!!!

• Electricity... oh how often in a day you neglect me!

• Because, to cover the distribution of water supply will take years. And well leaders are leaders. We will not see any good leaders in this generation. Anyway one good leader will not make any change at all.
