The Governor, yesterday, issued a notification calling for conduct of floor test of CADC to end the poltical impasse over claim of majority. The sub-rule (6) of rule 33 of CADC (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc.) Rules 2002 empowers the Governor to summon the Chakma District Council at anytime he deems necessary in the interest of the public.
Earlier, in the recently concluded CADC Winter Session held from 14th to 15th January the opposition MNF removed the CEM and Chairman through no-confidence motion and subsequently, claimed majority to form the new Executive Committee of CADC. On the other hand, the parties in the treasury bench cried foul play and demanded Governor’s intervention.
In order to ascertain the claim of majority by two groups, the Governor ordered for the floor test to be conducted by the Deputy Commissioner, Lawngtlai for free and fair transaction of business.
Kamalanagar, January 17, 2019: The Governor of Mizoram in a notification issued today ordered for a floor test of Chakma Autonomous District Council to be conducted tomorrow. The floor test will be conducted by the Deputy Commissioner, Lawngtlai District.
The notification has been served to end the political embroglio that has been witnessed since a couple of months.
In the recently concluded CADC Winter Session held from 15th – 16th January the Chairman and Chief Executive Member were removed in succession in two consecutive days through no-confidence motions.
The opposition MNF with 7 MDCs gained in numerical strength with 4 Congress MDCs crossing over to the MNF and the MNF taking advantage of its new position engineered the manoeuvre to remove the Chairman and the CEM. Following the removal of the CEM and thereby the Executive Committee, the MNF Legislature Party comprising of 11 MDCs staked claim to form the new Executive Committee with Dg. Rasik Mohan Chakma as CEM.
While the BJP and the Congress in CADC alleged foul play and expressed grievances with the Governor.
The political instability of the CADC started with the resignation of six Executive Members of 10th CADC when the Mizoram Assembly Election held in November was closing in. This was followed by withdrawal of support from the United Legislature Party by seven Congress MDCs. The United Legislature Party was formed between 5 BJP MDCs and 7 Congress MDCs to overcome the fractured manadate of CADC General Election held in April 2018.
Kamalanagar, January 14, 2019: The Winter Session of 10th Chakma Autonomous District Council which started today passed a no-confidence motion against the incumbent Chairman, CADC Dg. Buddhalila Chakma. The motion was passed in the 20 members strength house (1 MDC still to be re-elected after expiry of the incumbent) with 10 members voting in favour and 1 member against, while 7 members absenting themselves including the Chairman against whom the motion was moved.
The development came about with 4 Congress MDCs splitting away earlier and joining the MNF party and enhancing the strength of MNF MDCs from 7 to 11.
As per sub-rule 1 of Rule 86 of CADC (Constitution, Conduct of Business, etc) Rule 2002 the Deputy Chairman, Dg. Durjya Dhan Chakma presided over the Session. The motion seeking removal of the Chairman was submitted by Dg. Amit Kumar Chakma, MDC. In the first half of the sitting the Deputy Chairman sought the leave of the session for the motion and was granted. In the second half the motion was moved and passed by a vote of 10 by 1 with 7 members making themselves absent.
The Second sitting of the Winter Session will continue the next day.
