Claiming that damage assessment of public infrastructure and private properties might take longer than expected this year, BJP asserted that Satya Gopal has not miscommunicated .
“Gopal has given in writing to Election Commission of India with all facts and figures and left no scope for misunderstandings or misreading.”
Gopal is an honest, upright, rational and a man of principles, BJP stated that Gopal wrote to ECI after he received a report from DEO, East Kameng that stated that “if present weather conditions continue, road connectivity can be maintained only in 9/26 polling stations”.
Further release claim that I/c CS Gopal reviewed the situation with departmental heads before communicating to ECI.
It is common knowledge that under present circumstance, it is next to impossible to send polling team and materials to 2-Gumtung, 3-Tengri, 4-Hotte, 14-Lamta 17-Lassum Pate and 18-Taposo. “It took 2 days to deliver EVM/VVPAT to Seppa from Itanagar,” stated the BJP.
“Under BJP regime unlike Congress regime, we will consider merit and performance of bureaucrats above everything else. Our HCM and his council of ministers’ wisdom shall prevail over other political parties’ advice. Also, it is the prerogative of the ruling party, not of Congress, to decide the structure of the government,” the party said in a release.
Claiming that postponing the election is in the greater interest; and for the safety and security of all those involved in the electioneering process, BJP stated, “As per the law of the land, the by-election shall be held within 6 months. Deferring it by few weeks isn’t above rule or law.”
