Achievement lists of PDA Government is 'Boring' : NPF

Kohima, 9th November 2018:

The Naga Poeple's Front has snapped the much hype achievement lists of the PDA Government announcement made during the 3rd General Convention of the NDPP by the Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio at Kohima. The so called announcement is nothing but, 'Boring', as the reality on the ground is quite contradictory.

The NPF has expressed surprise over one of their general convention resolution point which stated, 'Deed not Word', as the very word is the manufactured word found in the manifesto of the way back 1977 regional political party of the state, National Council of Nagaland.

The NPF asserted that Rio's claimant on ending VIP culture has become more or less a joke as Nagas cannot be taken for a ride or fooled any further. The Nagas are the sole witnesses of how the PDA Govt went on to appoint their close kith and kins to various Govt.undertakings and status that imposed unnecessary burdens to the state exchequer .

Not contended with these events, the PDA Govt while talking about good governance and transperancy and promising to provide good roads within 30 days, 60 days that stretches yet again to 100 day's ,declaring that all district roads will be repaired , but to the amazement of every citizens in the state , the promised good roads has gone down the drain with the change of seasons, fullfilling their slogan , " Change is coming ".

Taking a dig at Rio's claim that all govt teachers were mapped digitally to maintain transparency, the NPF has advised Rio ," It is far better to pay teacher's salary regularly and looked into their well beings instead of mapping them digitally, as teachers are the backbone of a strong society ,and deserved to be well treated ," said NPF.

The NPF has asked Mr.Rio to stop fooling the Naga populace with his backtracked statement on Naga integration issue as he has already shown his true color when he declared loud and clear that Naga integration is no longer possible, after his meeting with Rajnath in Delhi , and therefore reaffirming that his Govt. will uphold integration of all Naga contiguous inhabited areas under one administrative unit is misleading.

Scoffing at the launching of Pink buses in Dimapur which is also in the lists of PDA Govt. achievement lists , the NPF opined that there is no point providing pink buses to women in Nagaland as our Naga women feels more secured and protected travelling alongside men unlike other cities and states acrossed the country , and reminded the Ruling Govt of the day to look into women reservation issue that is lying dormant for reasons best known to them , rather than providing pink buses for women to traverse on the precarious bumpy roads .

Another issue that has caught the attention of the people is the much acclaimed Mini Hornbill festivals being organised in the district headquarters with much fanfare which is nothing but a poor show indicating that the PDA Govt. is not serious enough in its good governance policies, but is prevailing to fullfill its own lust and desires by taking the people for a ride.

The NPF asserted that celebrating Mini Horbill festivals at a time when Nagas are reeling in distress about sky rocketing price commodities, with literally no roads to travel on, is nothing but a poor flop show of governance on the part of the PDA Govt.

Taking a dig at the reaffirmation of the NDPP party to pursue for gender equality under a spirit of peace , democracy and freedom, as enshrined in the party's constitution, the NPF has asked the NDPP to fullfill its committments and immediately looked into the 33 percent reservation issue for women without any further delay tactics , instead of playing with the emotions of the empowered Naga women by providing pink buses as a stop gap arrangement to fool them , which is nothing but making a spectacle of the present Govt. as well as the NDPP party, which in turn has become the biggest joke of the day.
