Zunheboto/Dimapur, June 2 (MExN): The BJP Secretary (Organisation) Nagaland in-charge, Ananta Narayan Mishra has stated, “BJP is not a religious party. It is a political party and has nothing to target the Christians or any other minorities.” Mishra clarified “this is totally false rumor and fabricated by other political rivals. The BJP government in the centre has appointed many state Governors from Muslim and Christian community, those are the living examples.”
Addressing party workers at the 5th district executive meeting of BJP in Zunheboto on May 30, Mishra maintained Nagas need change and BJP is the only alternative party to bring corruption free government in the State, according to a press release from Shikuto Sema, president, BJP Zunheboto district. He challenged the party workers that under his supervision Nagaland will form BJP government during 2018 election.
BJP State Executive Member, I. Kheto encouraged the Mandal Presidents to work hard beginning from the grassroots level to face the 2018 State assembly election. Alleging that NPF government in the state has failed to deliver the developmental works judiciously, he said, “The 15 years of NPF government in the state has failed the expectation of our Naga people.” He added people should not be fooled by false rumor that BJP is anti Christian or anti minorities. “...Ban of cow slaughter is a state subject which will never affect the Nagaland state.”
Mishra also attended the 5th executive meeting of BJP Dimapur district unit on June 2, where he stated that BJP stands for development and is focused on empowering the minority sections of the society. He also mentioned that after touring all the districts of Nagaland he was bemused to find that the State is still at a natal stage while the rest of the states in the country have marched ahead. Nagaland, he asserted, is not 100% but 200% corrupt, making it the most corrupt state in the country, according to a press release. “Only BJP can bring 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' (Collective efforts, Inclusive Growth) that forms the cornerstone of Narendra Modi's model of governance in Nagaland,” he claimed. He also highlighted the upcoming programmes of the party and asked the party workers to work diligently in the grassroots level and to ensure that the party comes to power in the 2018 assembly election. He further encouraged the party workers to focus on digital media to publicize the central government developments, achievements and schemes for the people.
