BJP Blames Caretaker of 10th CADC & LAO, CADC Over Arbitrary Removal of 2 Nominated  Village Council Members of Kamalanagar-III belonging to BJP. 

Kamalanagar: March, 14: In a press conference held at Kamalanagar today, the BJP CADC District Committee came down heavily on the Caretaker of 10th CADC & LAO, CADC after the removal of Shri Talukdar Chakma and Smt. Lokhi Loda Chakma, Nominated Members of Kamalanagar-III Village Council without giving even a show cause notice. 

The BJP CADC alleged that the actions of the Caretaker of the 10th CADC and Deputy Commissioner of Lawngtlai District Pu David Lalthantlunga, IAS & the Local Administration Officer, CADC Shri Ram Muni Chakma are arbitrary and politically motivated and working in favor of the present MNF MDCs of CADC. 

On February 28, the incumbent Village Council President of Kamalanagar-III Shri Moni Sangka Chakma (Elected VC Member) along with 2 Village Council Nominated Members namely Shri Talukdar Chakma and Smt. Lokhi Loda Chakma have joined BJP by resigning their primary membership of MNF party. Thus with existing two elected BJP  Village Council members and 3 newly joined VC Members into BJP   the Kamalanagar-III Village Council constituted into BJP majority with a total of five Village Council Members out of a  total  of 9 VC Members. 

Sunce anti defection law does not apply in the CADC   joining any political party by Village Council Members is their democratic rights as citizens of the country and cannot be said to constitute “acting in a manner prejudicial to the Village Council” nor is “better administration of the Village Council” interrupted.

The grounds mentioned in the removal letter are ambiguous, arbitrary, unreasonable and politically motivated to say the least.

“The Caretaker of the 10th CADC & LAO, CADC have no rights to favor any political parties as the the10th CADC is under Governor’s Rule and they should have followed rules and procedures rather than following the command of the present MNF MDCs and the notification served will be challenged in Court”, the press release stated.

The BJP CADC strongly demanded the Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram for immediate removal of the Caretaker of the 10th CADC & LAO, CADC from their post for being politically motivated in favour of the MNF party.

The conference was convened by Dr. Buddha Dhan Chakma, MLA, District President, BJP CADC, Shri Nirupam Chakma, National Council member, BJP Mizoram Pradesh, Shri Moni Sangka Chakma, VCP, K-III, Shri Ahoze Chakma VCM, K-III, Smt. Ranga Udi Chakma, VCM, K-III.
