SHILLONG: UDP president Dr Donkupar Roy has said that the party would concentrate on developing a peaceful atmosphere in the State if voted to power.
“The law and order situation has worsened in the past two years. In fact, when the UDP was in power the law and order situation was not like this,” Dr Roy said while speaking to reporters here on Monday.
When asked if the UDP will not share the blame for the deteriorating law and order situation since it is a part of the MPA Government, he said the party can not be held be irresponsible for all the mess since they are not consulted on all policies adopted by the Government.
To a question whether the party was planning to withdraw support from the Government, he said the UDP would never betray its collation partners. “The party would remain committed to the agreement on the basis of which the MPA government was formed.”
“We do not think a situation warrants for withdrawing of support,” the UDP president said.
Meanwhile, he informed that the party would soon prepare a vision document for the State.
“We have assigned the party leaders in the district level to come up with some pertinent issues on the socio-economic front. After the receiving the views from the various districts, the party would finally formulate the vision document,” Dr Roy said adding that the party would carry forward the developmental work in the State based on this document for the next five years.
Concern over migrant voters: He said that the party would urge the Government to see that there is a proper screening before enrollment of migrants into the electoral rolls.”We have informed there is no screening while enrolling of the migrant people. This has allowed many migrant people with doubtful antecedent getting enrolled as in the voters’ list which is a matter of concern,” Dr Roy said.
