KHADC stalemate

SHILLONG: United Democratic Party (UDP) working president and former KHADC CEM Bindo M Lanong has suggested that the best formula to end the political drama in KHADC would be to convene a session where both ruling and the opposition can show their strength.
Speaking to media persons on the sideline of a function here, Lanong said that the best place to end the stalemate is not home or Raj Bhavan but the session where the majority can be proved.
Stating that the stalemate in the KHADC has become a three cornered tussle between the Government, the Governor and the KHADC, he said that the Government till now has not even appointed the administrator in the KHADC even though they have recommended for imposition of Administrator’s Rule.
Stating that the Governor has the power to convene the session, Lanong accused that the Congress would always like to have its own Executive Committee  and this is proved by the fact that the State Government has extended the term of GHADC on three occasions.
Reacting to a query, he said that the provisions of the Tenth Schedule should be extended to the Autonomous District Councils.
“In 2010 when I was the Law Minister we had passed a resolution in the Assembly and it was sent to the Union Government but now we don’t know the status or whether any reminder was sent to the Central Government,” he said.
