Pfütsero, August 5 (MExN): The 16-Pfütsero ACCC in its General Meeting at Pfütsero Town Hall today recommended K. Therie who is also the NPCC President, as the Congress Candidate for the 2018 General Election.
Addressing the meeting, Therie thanked the ACCC for recommending his candidature as the Congress candidate.
Therie said the future of NPF is no more in Nagaland and that it has been reduced to a fragmented, divided party fighting for their own interests and not for the public. The public have no wish for the present MLAs to continue any further as their leaders, he added.
He argued that the 60 MLAs had forgotten the public and are fighting for portfolios and further insisted that there is no guarantee that the 60 MLAs will come back to power in the coming general election.
Therie claimed that the NPF Government is in fear of BJP because of their own corruption. "They fear the CBI and the NIA. The day they part ways from BJP, all the MLAs will be prosecuted," he claimed. Till today, no extra assistance has been awarded to Nagaland State after BJP came to power despite the NPF's patronage of the BJP, he added.
The NPCC President also accused the BJP of misusing the office of the Governor in Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and other states.
Further claiming that demonetization has shut down more than 3 lakh small companies, the NPCC President contended that the economy of India has been adversely affected to a large extent and that farmers are resorting to killing themselves as a result. "From famers to economists to Industrialists, everyone wants 'change' in the nation," he said.
He appealed to the House to go back to the people and to talk and share with them, the vision, programs and policies of the party as highlighted in the Roadmap. He concluded that given opportunity, the Congress would deliver the programs and policies contained in the Roadmap, some of which he highlighted.
N. Neilo Koza, National Organizing Secy., All India Seva Dal, also addressed the meeting and said that atrocities towards Christians and minorities in India have increased after BJP came to power at the centre. He also alleged that the RSS is running the Government by proxy at the Centre and in Nagaland through the NPF party.
Further contending that the NPF has been reduced to a divided house today, Koza stated that the public are crying for change. "Together we will change the future and Congress will form the next government," he exuded and appealed to the House to be the change and work hard to elect Therie in the coming 2018 General Election.
The General Meeting also seriously viewed the incident of stone pelting at Rahul Gandhi’s convoy in Gujarat and took up a resolution condemning the action. “The action is a show of desperate failure of BJP in all fronts and is a threat to democracy of India,” it maintaned.
