DIMAPUR, AUGUST 4 (MExN): The Nagaland State Unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by Dr. Amos Longkumer, State Convener and Dr. Lemwang Chuhwanglim, State Spokesperson, with other eight executive members recently met Delhi Chief Minister and AAP National Convener, Arvin Kejriwal and Political Affairs Committee (PAC) led by Rakesh Sinha, in Delhi.
In the meeting, AAP Nagaland highlighted the one and half year achievements of the party activities in the State. The party assured Kejriwal that the party will start political campaign in different parts of the state in the following months for the 2018 state assembly election.
A press note from the AAP Nagaland reported Kejriwal as expressing his support in “every political venture to strengthen the party to bring political transformation in the state for the benefit of the common people in the 2018 election.”
He, along with the state unit of the party, “identified the urgent needs of the common people of Nagaland which have been neglected and marginalized for the past so many years under different political parties in the State.” The meeting promulgated the party aims and objective to move forward with support from the common people according to their choice rather than insisting citizens to vote under the cause of money power.
The AAP Nagaland affirmed that despite being a very new political party in the State, it would “fight for justice of every citizen’s right to vote with freedom and liberty without being manipulated by any man power and money power or any group or organizations.”
“Manipulating the life and vote of the innocent citizens with gun, money and man power is against the rights of every voter. Eventually, this power manipulation of the existing political party brings poverty and discrimination to the predominant voters when the party agents and candidates become wealthier every day,” it stated. The party urged the Naga people to “choose either to go under the same shadow of poverty and captivity or under the glory of justice for the rights to every individual’s share, in the 2018 election.”
Expressing its intent to contest in the 2018 state polls, the party along with its National Convener strongly expressed that “every winning belongs to the common people but not to individual leader or candidate.”
It appealed to every voter of the state to “come together to the realization of needing political transformation to abrogate the deplorable political history of the state where rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer day by day.”
