DCC Peren counters ZPO (N)

Dimapur, April 1 (EMN): Responding to Zeliangrong People’s Organisation Nagaland (ZPO-N) which claimed to be a social organisation working for the rights and welfare of its people, Peren District Congress Committee (DCC) said ZPO (N) should also speak up for the rights and welfare of the Tening sub-division whose roads have been left unrepaired by TR Zeliang despite representing the constituency for 20 years. DCC Peren Media Cell urged ZPO (N) also to speak up for the welfare of Kebai-Khelma area whose roads are repaired every year by the poor villagers with contributions from MGNREGA funds. ‘Since ZPO (N) is least bothered about raising other such issues, its sole purpose for existence is found only when defending the corrupt activities of TR Zeliang and his close relatives and not the rights and welfare of the people as claimed by them,’ DCC media cell alleged. While admitting that it is not against any development programme if it benefits all the citizens of Peren district, it said TR Zeliang was elected to be the leader of the people and not for his family and few of his cronies. DCC Peren strongly opposed the nepotism, favoritism and corruption perpetrated by TR Zeliang. DCC Peren further advised ZPO (N) to raise issues that concern the rights and welfare of the people.
