“Many rural roads including inter-state connectivity with Assam are lying in worn-out condition, while government office buildings are in dilapidated state due to lack of renovation for the years. The former ruling party MLA did not put attention towards the problems but found involved in party affairs only”, Kaye lamented.
The NPP candidate assured the people of taking road construction/repairing schemes and boundary disputes on top priority besides taking up the issues pertaining to major key issues of the area bordering to Dhemaji of Assam.
The NPP is facing triangular contest with incumbent MLA Kento Rina (BJP) and Congress party candidate Tojir Kadu in the poll fray.
