ELECTION FOR SOLUTION - A COLOSSAL JUMLA | AICC
Channel: North East 24X7

In 2018, Nagaland gave BJP and its partners a chance because they promised an election for solution. Five years have passed - but nothing has happened and the same people are once again seeking votes in the name of solution. How many times will they belittle the aspirations and demand of Naga people? 

FALSE PROMISE OF DEVELOPMENT 

You know this better than me, one has to simply step outside of Dimapur to other districts particularly Eastern Nagaland and the real state of the roads and infrastructure bear ridicule the false claims of development. But the growth in wealth and assets of the Chief Minister doesn’t amount to development of the state. It explains the massive corruption in the ruling government and the patronage they enjoy. 

A lid may have been put in the case against Mr Rio filed by ED, but that conspicuous silence explains the unholy nexus of corruption at the heart of decision making in Nagaland. 

Look at this picture here of BJP State President Imna Along at this resort - I think the BJP mistakes Niathu resort for development. Let me give you 2 glaring examples of lack of development in the state.  A drive from Mariani to Mokokchung which should normally take 2.5 hours takes 6 hours. From The President’s own area of Longnak to Mongolemba a 9 km drive takes 2 hours thanks to the pathetic condition of roads. 

ERRATIC POWER SUPPLY 

All claims of double engine govt fall flat if one sees the erratic power supply in the state, what efforts have been made to ensure 24x7 power supply in this so called double engine govt? 

WATER SUPPLY 

The Prime Minister may continue to make false claims about Nal Se Jal in Parliament - but why does he not fulfil his bogus promises and tall claims here in Nagaland - why should you be deprived of water supply. I am told People in Kohima keep the wasted water from clothes and utensils to be used in sanitary and flush. 


EASTERN NAGALAND LANGUISHING 

Due to the continued betrayal of people in this region and glossing over lack of basic amenities there Eastern Nagaland has been languishing in development. We promise to build a mini secretariat at Tuensang. 


NAGALAND WORST PERFORMING STATE

According to the NITI Aayog's North Eastern Region District Sustainable Development Goal Index, Nagaland was the worst performer on poverty alleviation, health and well-being and infrastructure.

ASPIRATIONS OF YOUTH DENIED 

Rampant corruption and lack of development in Nagaland has made the youth suffer the most. In a state where every house has a sportsman - there is no access to world class sporting facilities. No effort has been made by this govt to move the needle on jobs either. 

OUR PRIORITIES 

•Increase monthly old age pension to ₹3000  
•Mini secretariat in Tuensang 
•Full and timely payment of MGNREGA dues 
•Interest free loans for higher education 
•Clean drinking water to every household 
•Compulsory vocational youth training after HSLC
•Review demand for Old Pension Scheme 

It is time for the people of Nagaland to hold those in power accountable and elect a government that will work for their development and progress
