In the recent CD-BJP Friday Gathering held on 8th May, 2026, Dg. Durjya Dhan Chakma, President of CD-BJP made a loud and misleading claim regarding the salary deficit issue of CADC.
He stated that if the State Government fails to resolve the salary deficit issue, CD-ZPM should obtain a recommendation letter from the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Mizoram so that CD-BJP could pursue the matter in Delhi or through the Governor of Mizoram to secure one-time financial assistance from the Central Government.
After listening to his speech, we find it necessary to expose the misleading nature of such statements and place the facts before the people of CADC.
First of all, there is no such financial provision under which the State Government can simply recommend Central assistance specifically for the payment of ADC salaries. Such claims are either made out of ignorance or are deliberate attempts to mislead the public for political mileage.
In fact, even in the case of certain Development Projects recommended by the State Government, proposals are often rejected if they involve administrative cost/expenditures such as the appointment of MR staff or recurring salary liabilities.
Therefore, making tall promises about resolving the salary deficit through a mere recommendation letter is nothing but political drama intended to confuse innocent people of CADC.
If CD-BJP or its leaders believe otherwise they are welcome to publicly name the specific constitutional, financial or administrative provision under which such assistance can legally and practically be sanctioned. Mere speeches and emotional rhetoric cannot change administrative realities.
At the same time, one fact remains undeniable that the State Government presently has the power and opportunity to address the salary deficit issue of CADC if it genuinely has the political will to do so. Since the term of the 2nd State Finance Commission ended with the financial year 2025-2026 and the 3rd State Finance Commission has not yet been constituted, the allocation of funds to the ADCs currently depends entirely upon the discretion and decision of the State Government.
We strongly urge the people of CADC not to be misled by political propaganda, emotional speeches and false assurances. Public issues must be discussed based on facts, laws and administrative realities not on political theatrics.
Being a progressive political party in the Chakma ADC, we the CDMNF believe it is our moral duty to inform and educate the public whenever misinformation is spread by any of our political opponents on important matters affecting the future of CADC.
