Haflong: In protest against the failure and anti-people policies of the BJP government, the Dima Hasao DCC organized a mass agitation programme near the Deputy Commissioner’s office, Haflong on Monday.

The agitation was led by Dima Hasao District president Nirmal Langthasa and Member of Autonomous Council (MAC), Daniel Langthasa, Kalijay Sengyung and many Congress leaders of Dima Hasao.

The agitation programme highlighted the failure of the BJP government at the Centre and the State and the impact of their failed economic policies on the economy and the general public. From issues ranging from demonetisation, GST, price rise, job losses and unemployment to Panchayati Raj and CAB, all the speakers resonated with the prevalent undercurrent amongst the general public.

Haflong MAC Daniel Langthasa stated that the Debolal Gorlosa-led BJP government in NCHAC was inefficient and clueless as to how to administer the district and its people. The recent statement of Executive Member Samuel Changsan at the council session stating his ignorance about the appointment of sarpanch and secretary in various areas of Dima Hasao was like an open book highlighting their administrative failures

On the other hand, DCC president Nirmal Langthasa concentrated on various issues that were weakening the democratic institutions and the BJP’s policy of upper-class capitalist politics. Langthasa criticized the rampant privatization policy of the BJP and selling off valuable PSUs to private players.

The protesters strongly opposed the illegal introduction of GPDP, a feature of Panchayati Raj in Dima Hasao district, and demanded that all activities should be stopped immediately as it was unconstitutional on the part of the BJP government to do such a thing. They also opposed the BJP government’s initiative to set up a detention camp in Dima Hasao and accused the present NCHAC leaders of being hand-in-glove with the State BJP and being completely silent on this issue.

The Congress leaders reiterated that any policy that went against public interest would be opposed by the Congress and the party would lead from the front to preserve and protect the constitutional provisions at all cost.
