DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 4 (MExN): The Nagaland State BJP unit has refuted a news item that appeared in the local media that “DAN –III alliance partner BJP supports the official NPF candidate.” Following its executive meeting on February 4, the party clarified that “such a decision has not been taken in the party forum nor has the NPF- search committee consulted the party in this matter. And when the DAN convener was consulted, the party was informed that such statement was not released officially.” This was stated in a press release from the spokesperson of BJP Nagaland, K. James Vizo. “As far the Lok Sabha candidature is concerned, the party is of view that only after thorough deliberation with the alliance partners in appropriate forum will the party be able to arrive at its final decision,” noted the press release. The BJP Nagaland has appealed to all party workers “not to be confused” by the “press statement.”
