MALKANGIRI: Members of the
Communist Party of India (Maoist) Malkangiri division appealed the people of
the district to boycott the General Election protesting Government apathy
towards development of their region.
Maoist leader Rukdhar in an
interview with a regional TV news channel said the elected representatives just
forget the people after winning the election. They never visit their area to
inquire about the condition of the people which is very unfortunate, he added.
He said the State Government
didn’t take any step to provide basic amenities including water facility, road
connectivity, proper execution of welfare programmes, healthcare, Indira Awas
Yojana for poor and launch service to the cut-off area. In spite of repeated
demands of the poor people, the Government didn’t pay heed to their demands, he
added.
“If the Government doesn’t take
any concrete steps to solve basic problems of the common people, why the people
of the area will cast vote for their representatives,” questioned Rukdhar,
adding, “The MLAs and MPs never visit their area after getting elected by the
common people.”
Rukdhar said the Government is
trying to suppress the peoples’ movement by arresting their leaders branding
them Maoists. “By using military forces, the Government has created terror in
the cut-off area,” he added.
