Aizawl: The BJP Mizoram state unit on Sunday expressed regret that the efforts made by its president, K Beichhua, to improve the poor road conditions along NH-306 and NH-06 have been misconstrued by some politically motivated people.In a press release issued in Aizawl, the BJP state unit said the saffron party’s top priority is development and proper maintenance of the Mizoram lifeline, which has been neglected by successive state govts for over 30 years. “It is extremely unfortunate that Beichhua’s efforts have been adversely commented by people who are completely misguided by partisan politics,” the press release said.The National Highway Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) submitted the daily report as sought by the state BJP chief, while complaining that repair work of the worst dilapidated stretches of the national highways cannot be repaired expeditiously due to vehicular traffic snarls.“As the repair works and maintenance have been perpetually neglected, it seems to be extremely difficult task to transport boulders due to a plethora of reasons including vehicular congestion as trucks cannot travel fast,” the statement said.It said BJP does not want to get political mileage out of the fiasco of long years of neglect of NH-306 and NH-06 by successive govts, but tried its best to ensure that the state’s lifeline is in good condition for the people.It is extremely unfortunate that some sections of the people, without fully showing the portions of the NH-306 and NH-06, are trying to tarnish the image of BJP by making false and baseless statements. “The BJP only wants development of the state and the people of Mizoram,” it added.
