TURA, Feb 18: The Bharatiya Party Loktantrik (BPL), a party which made its debut in Garo Hills just recently, has called for the deferment of the upcoming Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) polls while warning of moving the Supreme Court if the election is still conducted.
The deferment demand was made subsequent to a meeting which was held on February 13.
“The previous EC had sought an extension of their term with a promise to clear the staff salary, an accumulated liability during their tenure, which has failed. The salary for nearly three years has not been paid which will be a huge burden on the next EC. Therefore, the proposed election to the GHADC may be deferred unless and until the staff salary is cleared,” party president, Lindin Ch Momin, said. It also threatened to move the top court if the polls are held sans clearing salaries of the GHADC staff.
