He called for the blacklisting of the firm executing the much-anticipated and dream project of the district.
Gyadi also sought concerned authority’s intervention in vacating the unemployed women hostel cum destitute home, now converted into a private school -(Sunrise residential school) which have been leased out for thirty years.
He further accused the legislator of allegedly embezzling 4 crore rupees approved under SIDF using a private firm M/S FT enterprise registered in the name of his wife, Fesam Taku.

I have no role in any land encroachment neither I have directed anyone to issue NOC for land encroachment, it is the authority who might have issued after their official formalities.
I have been in the public field and serving the people of my assembly constituency for the welfare and development. There are several developmental schemes and project for the welfare and development of the area of which many have been completed and some of them are in pipeline.
Referring to Mini Secretariat Taku said that it may not be inordinate but may be due to weather and other reason but the work is in progress. The department is monitoring the project he said.
With regard to appointment issue Taku clarified that few appointment which are in the Forest department are not regular appointment and are on master roll and contingency basis kept for the completion of the schemes under CAMPA and any appointment are made through the department.
The Seppa township road have been constructed by company and Chief Secretary in his recent visit have also appreciated.
The allegation is politically motivated with a vested interest and those who are alleging are against the welfare measure taken up in his assembly constituency and also they are against the ruling party. Taku added.
