KOHIMA, APRIL 24 (MExN): The ruling Naga People’s Front (NPF) has termed “ridiculous and misleading” what it called the “NPCC demanding re-poll in 1000 polling booths across Nagaland at this stage.” According to the NPF press bureau, this was done “as they know that they will meet a crushing defeat.” In a press release, the NPF stated today, “Election to the lone Lok Sabha Seat of Nagaland State, held on April 9, 2014 was undeniably carried out across the state peacefully, with the people having exercised their franchise under peaceful atmosphere, without any untoward incident. The elections were well managed under strict observation and supervision of Government machineries including the Election Commission of India, State Election Department, and Law enforcing Agencies etc. with mass participation of the people belonging to different political parties.” As per the NPF, people have “just exercised their rights and contributed towards the smooth conduct and high voting percentage of polling which will only be revealed through counting of their votes.” The NPF expressed surprise that “the NPCC has already been projecting the negative aspects even before the results have been declared, and apparently they know that they (Congress) are going to lose the referred election in Nagaland.”
