They are yet to take oath as legislators, but before doing that some newly-elected MLAs from Naga People’s Front (NPF) want to ensure that they move around in comfort. 11 of the 27 new legislators from the opposition party wrote to the commissioner and secretary of the Nagaland assembly to allot them Toyota Innova-Crysta instead of Renault Duster.
Citing the Assembly Secretariat as “planning to allot” Duster vehicles to MLAs, the terse letter stated, “We the undersigned NPF legislators have decided to not to accept the said allotment because of maintenance issue. Instead, arrangement may kindly be made for allotment of Toyota-Innova Crysta (Top Model) to all of us.” The signatories were all part of the previous DAN government.
It may be mentioned that the top model of Duster costs nearly Rs 13 lakh, the high-end variant of Innova Crysta costs over Rs 22 lakh.
