Arunachal CM Kalikho Pul a puppet of Governor: CLP

ITANAGAR: The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) of Arunachal Pradesh has alleged that Chief Minister Kalikho Pul is a puppet of Governor J P Rajkhowa and has failed on all fronts.

In a meeting chaired by CLP leader Nabam Tuki here on Monday, Congress legislators alleged that the Raj Bhawan had become the head-office of PPA government and Rajkhowa was donning the role of its High Command with the blessings of the Centre, CLP spokesperson Bamang Felix said in a statement here.

"The government has failed on all facets of effective governance and has been superlatively successful in befooling the people with tall claims and false promises. CLP, Congress and people of the state will not remain mere spectators henceforth," it said.

The CLP also alleged that the government had failed in maintaining law and order, financial management and was victimising government officials.

It was resolved that a delegation of CLP members, Congress leaders and members of civil societies would approach the Raj Bhavan soon to record its complaints and demand remedies.
