“The elected leader, MLA of 53 ST Tamenglong constituency has vacated his MLA seat for so long and the people have to suffer the consequences. The district is left leaderless, in a state of vacuum with no one to voice the people’s cry after the resignation of its former MLA,” it stated.

The association said that Tamenglong district is one of the most backward districts in the state and the people have no representative and no one to rely on. As such, the people is in dire need of an elected leader, the release added. 

It also pointed out that the hill areas are also in the crux of change which may bring about a political and geographical change with the looming delimitation of the state.
