Honestly as a chakma I am very disapointed to see CADC in a condition like that. No roads no proper water supply, no proper electricity. One question I want to ask. Is it really the mizos who are blocking development in CADC or is the People of CADC who are blocking their own development??? I dont know the answer but what I saw in CADC was MONEY and I understood that People in CADC doesnot need a good leader, they dont need development, they just need money.

" Hi Paritosh, as you can see he told media persons on Feb. 2008. It was before the new govt was formed by Congress in Mizoram. He said those during MNF government. Today, we can't compare people from South Mizoram to the rest of the state. They are too poor. For example, in our village (MADC area), there is no telephone line even in 2009. Don't laugh at me.. what can I do? hehe Look at the following blog post by a Civil Servant from North Mizoram who was posted at Tuipang V some years ago. http://burgerstud2005.blogspot.com/2009/05/nlup-hmanga-chhanchhuah-chi-ni-em.html The title of the post is: Can they be rescued using NLUP? Congress gov't has promised them that through NLUP the poor in the state will be given Rs.1 lakh each for alleviating their lives. But it may not be enough for those in the post. Those poor people in the post are from MADC area. Quote “The minister told mediapersons in Aizawl on February 13, 2008. ”

Indeed, denial of development is one of the main reasons for which the three largest and politically most powerful minorities of Mizoram are demanding UT status to be curved out of the three ADCs. But I wonder whether the statement was merely a political gimick to win the minorities' votes ahead of the elections (at that time) by holding the then MNF govt responsible for denial of development funds, ahead of the elections (at that time). The Congress done the same thing to the minorities but does Mr Aiyar being a sernormost congress leader have the courage to say the same thing given that Congress is the present ruler of Mizoram?
