DIMAPUR, SEP 11 (NPN) : Rising People’s Party (RPP) has asked the state government to use funds generated through GST revenue collection for completion of the foothill road project, instead of going to Delhi “with begging bowl at every given opportunity.”
While welcoming the amount of Rs. 20 crore accorded for the construction of the bridge over Doyang and other works, RPP said that the government should not always give the lack of funds excuse as the state’s revenue, after the implementation of GST in 2017, had increased exponentially.
The party also appreciated NFHRCC for forcing the government to wake up from its deep slumber, stating that “the government was pretending to sleep on the foothill road issue but the ultimatum from the committee which was supported by every CSOs and student organizations managed to jolt the government.” Taking note of the “failed report” of the Niti Aayog, RPP said it was doubtful whether that the Central government would finance the foothill road project. “NITI Aayog report had severely dented the state’s image and the state government’s vigorous protests that Nagaland was not last in the table does not hold water because a failed report card is what it is, a failed report card,” RPP stated.
Meanwhile, RPP said that their crowd funding campaign would go on and informed the public that the money raised through the campaign will be handed over to the appropriate authority.
It clarified that, the money being raised through milaap.org platform, is transparent and there is no chance of the funds being misutilised as alleged by some attention-seekers.
As on September 11, a total of Rs.1,37,196 was collected as part of the RPP crowd-funding campaign.
