Itanagar: Arunchal Pradesh Tourism Art and Culture Minister Pema Khandu has resigned from the cabinet and has handed over the letter to Chief Minister Nabam Tuki who had axed five senior ministers early this month.
Khandu in his resignation letter sent on Monday said, “The government under your (Tuki) leadership has miserably failed to live up to the expectations of the general public of the state.
“There is no democracy within the party MLAs nor political stability due to which governance in the state is at its lowest,” Khandu said.
The letter, a copy of which was made available to press on Tuesday, said since the past few years, the state is undergoing “the worst and unprecedented financial crisis in its history.
Yet you (Tuki) have not taken any significant steps towards improving this state of affair.”
“As the government under your leadership has now lost the popular support of the CLP members and the people of the state at large, I do not consider it appropriate to continue any further as minister in the government under your leadership,” he added.
Tuki had dropped four ministers on October 7 and another two days later for alleged dissident activities.
“The adamant attitude of the present leadership and its inability to bring about any change in the deteriorated political scenario has pained me very deeply. “…I have, therefore, tendered my resignation from the post of Cabinet Minister in the Council of Ministers of the present government led by Tuki, to uphold the greater interests of our state and people who have elected us with so much of hope,” Khandu said in a statement.
He alleged that people’s sense of security is completely absent.
“Even government officers and employees have to work in extremely insecure environment with regular cases of abuse, manhandling and assault by miscreants, which has continued unabated in these months and continue to go unpunished. Fear and insecurity has become a constant feature of our lives.”
Tuki as the CLP leader and chief minister has not only repeatedly ignored but slammed the advice of senior ministers in his cabinet to improve the prevailing state of misgovernance.
“He prefers instead to impose his decisions than to take into consideration any differing views of his council of Ministers, Parliamentary Secretaries or MLAs,” he added. (PTI)
