HALFLONG, Jan 26 : The ASDC party, currently  the ruling party in the NC Hills Autonomous Council, declared that it has a thumping majority with 19-members in the 28-members of NC Hills Autonomous Council despite the fact that some of its MACs were lured and misguided by a section of Congress (I) leaders of NC Hills, stated a press release.

However, of the eight MACs who reportedly joined the Congress (I) party (as published in news papers and TV news), four members, Donphainon Thaosen, Kur Rongpi, Moril Massaa and Igaineing Daime immediately resigned from Congress (I) and joined the ASDC party after realising the fact that the Congress (I) party in the hill district like NC Hills has nothing worth to offer for the development and peace in the district. The above mentioned four members rectified their thought and action and reaffirmed their faith and loyalty to the ASDC party.

Besides, in a major boost to the Autonomous State movement in the hill districts of Asom, Congress leaders like MAC Lungngama Nampui representing Kharthong constituency and Retd IAS V Changsang MAC representing Diger constituency elected from Congress (I) party resigned from Congress (I) and joined the ASDC party with full support of the Party’s principle and ideology.

They were unanimously of the view that only ASDC party can provide the much needed peace and development in the trouble-torn district and the people of NC Hills have lost faith in the Congress (I) party and its leadership.

The ASDC NC Hills District Committee condemned the conspiracy to destabilise the NC Hills Autonomous Council by a section of Congress (I) leaders. It is really unfortunate that the power crazy Congress (I) leaders failed to respect the people’s mandate and involved in such undemocratic acts. This only proves their Visionless character and low-character politics.

ASDC party gives a clarion call to all concerned to respect the people’s verdict given in favour of the ASDC party and to desist itself from trying to destabilise the NCHAC.

Rather, they should extend their full Cooperation and support to carry forward the process of peace and development in the district with full support and cooperation of the State Government. This was stated in a press release.
