DIMAPUR, JANUARY 30 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has condemned what it termed is a “treacherous game being played by the NPF and the BJP to put the state and its people under a spell of political uncertainty that is waiting to implode and tear Naga society apart.” A press note from the NPCC media cell said that the people of Nagaland are observing how the NPF-BJP is “attempting to sail in two boats by pretending to support the wishes of the people while openly planning for seat sharing and fight elections together.” If the parties are serious about finding solution to the Naga political problem, the Congress said that they should have worked with full sincerity “other than paying lip service all through the years.” “Sending party representatives to attend the meeting called by Civil Societies while indulging in open election campaign and declaration of candidature makes a mockery of the entire exercise,” it opined. The NPCC concluded that as per the statements made by BJP leaders and the actions of the NPF leaders, “they are determined to go ahead with elections without bothering about the voices of the people.” “For BJP, capturing power in Nagaland will be a crowning achievement on the global stage to showcase its acceptability by the Christian majority voters of Nagaland. Their mission is aided by some of our people for the love of power and money not realizing that they are compromising the very foundation of our beliefs and way of life,” it added. The NPCC meanwhile assured that it would “continue to stand by our people in these times of confusion and uncertainty perpetrated by NPF-BJP to prolong their stay in power.” “NPCC in all fairness had declared to honour the wishes and aspirations of the people with regards to assembly elections and will not allow NPF-BJP to deceive our people and murder democracy to suit their divisive agenda,” it stated.
