NPF a ‘rudderless’ party, says NPCC
Kohima, March 29 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has stated that the people of Nagaland should not expect justice from the NPF-BJP government.
“They have lost total control and are rudderless,” a statement from the Media Cell, NPCC stated insisting that the NPF-BJP Government has been plagued by “contagious bacteria of backdoor appointments”.
The NPCC Media Cell further hit out at the NPF Press & Media Bureau arguing that the latter, by staunchly defending backdoor appointments, “appears to have lost their mental balance”.
Pointing out that all citizens have the right to demand justice and equal opportunity as enshrined in the constitution, the NPCC maintained, “The question of appointing local or non-local, qualified or non qualified and deserving or non deserving youths does not arise.”
The NPCC further contended that the NPF, after 14 long years in power, has only managed to become “the spring board for Hindutva forces” in Nagaland.
Asserting that the present system of backdoor appointments has benefited only few while leaving thousands of youths to face an uncertain future, the statement assured that the NPCC, given opportunity, will leave no stone unturned in cleaning the system.
“Equal opportunity to Lakhs of educated unemployed youth through open advertisement and recruitment with provisions for backward reservations shall be implemented both in letter and spirit,” it assured.
Congress ideologies outdated: NPF
Dimapur: The Naga People’s Front (NPF) today accused the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) leaders of “trying to echo the voice” of ACAUT members “who have been doing everything to tarnish the image of the government and the NPF party.” This was in reference to NPCC’s statement on backdoor appointments.
The ideologies of the Congress party, a press statement from NPF (Central) Media & Press Bureau said, are “outdated” and the public have rejected the party in the last three general elections in the State. “Moreover, the Congress legislators themselves have left the party for good because they have also been frustrated and disenchanted with the ideology of the Congress,” it added.
The NPF further stated, “NPCC should do series of exercise to look into how their own weakness and their past misrule where corruption was at its height have in fact sown the seed of discontentment and disenchantment in the minds of the people. It should then own responsibility for the imbalances created in the society that has its roots back to the Congress regime.”
Meanwhile, the statement asserted that NPF is pro-poor party, and therefore, it shall not do anything detrimental to public benefit. “In its endeavor for progressiveness of the people under the party government, the party advises its legislators to work within the laid down rules and procedures to give best governance to the people throughout its tenure and, lacuna (if any) detected in the system, should be rectified or corrected without delay as and when brought to the notice of appropriate authorities,” it claimed.
