Arunachal Assembly dissolved due to financial crisis: AAPSU

All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union today alleged the state government that it dissolved the state Assembly due to severe financial crisis and not for holding election along with Lok Sabha polls as it claimed.
"There is serious financial mismanagement and crisis which forced the Cabinet to call for simultaneous election of the state Assembly along with the Lok Sabha polls," AAPSU president Kamta Lapung said in a statement.
Complete breakdown of law and order, economic blockade, boundary issue, infighting of Congress leaders were the other reasons to recommend dissolution of the Assembly, it said.
In this situation, there was no need for a caretaker government and the state should be immediately brought under President rule, Lapung said.

The state Assembly was dissolved on March 6, seven months before completion of the present term, as the Congress government sought Assembly election along with Lok Sabha polls to minimize the election cost which was roughly estimated as Rs 70 crore, it said.
