Dimapur, March 30 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) today alleged that the “NPF-BJP government” in Nagaland has become “synonymous with rampant backdoor appointments” and is “befittingly” led by Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu, “who sneaked in through backdoor to occupy the Chief Minister’s chair.”
“Becoming Chief Minister by default, he has simply forgotten that the Cock party was once a nonexistent entity when even its Cock symbol was frozen by ECI,” stated the Media Cell NPCC in a press release.
The NPCC further reminded that the CM that “ditched the regional party bandwagon in 1999 to unsuccessfully contest parliamentary elections as Independent candidate.”
“If not for those Congress imports that came and resuscitated the dying regional party in the form of NPF in 2002, he would have been banished to political wilderness forever,” NPCC said refuting CM’s reported statement that “the era of Congress has ended all over the country.”
It further maintained that despite suffering electoral reverses, Indian National Congress remains “not only a national political party but an inclusive idea of the nation” and it will not be “uprooted or finished.”
“Though the NPF would like to believe that Congress ideology is outdated and rejected by the people, yet the inclusive ideology of the INC which has withstood the test of time will prevail over the divisive and fascist ideology of the BJP-RSS,” it added.
NPCC also accused the NPF of becoming the “comfort party of the BJP-RSS and facilitating their foothold” in the state. “It has become the only notable achievement of the NPF during the past 14 years.”
“NPF’s political journey has reached dead end and it is clearly evident from the way NPF party workers are jittery about the proposed formation of new political party by its dissidents,” it stated.
