DIMAPUR, MAY 8 (MExN): The Nagaland state unit of the BJP has stated that the party, being a pre- poll alliance partner with DAN 3, “shall stand and support whichever consensus candidate the major NPF- partner will decide to support.” A press note from the BJP Nagaland Spokesman and General Secretary, K James Vizo stated that an earlier press statement issued by the party on the issue of the next Chief Minister for Nagaland state, was “made by some vested party workers” and that “it is of their own personal opinion, which has nothing to do with the party.” President of the BJP Nagaland unit, Dr M Chuba Ao reminded all party members that unless authorized, “all official press releases related to state affairs, policies and programmes of the party will be released by the party spokesperson and media convener as per the party decision only.” The party further directed its members to “refrain from directly going to the media using the party name and voicing their individual opinion on this subject matter - “who will be the next CM, since it is internal matter of the other political party.”
