SHILLONG: UDP candidate from Nongkrem Draison Kharshiing said that the sitting legislator Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit has failed to bring any development to the constituency.
“The people of Nongkrem are looking for development. There are many villages which do not have proper roads,” he said adding that the constituency still has many underprivileged people who struggle for livelihood on a daily basis.
The former Nartiang legislator said he was been associated with Nongkrem for the past 17 years and is aware of its problems.
On his decision to back out from the race for the Congress ticket, Kharshiing said that the INC was ‘a party only for the rich’.
The UDP candidate also expressed concern over the economic condition of the people of the State, especially in the coal belt areas, where a dip in price of coal will have huge impact on the commoners.
“I would personally see that the Government tries to address this issue if I am elected,” Kharshiing said.
