KOHIMA,Sept 13 (MExN): The BJP, Nagaland unit, has looked right through the recent allegations made by the Congress against it. “The statements of the Leaderless and divided State Congress are only further exposure of the Party’s in depth anguish, panic and frustrations after losing the people’s mandate,” a release issued by O Mozamo Ngullie, Spokesman, BJP Nagaland has stated.
Ngullie has stated that the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the State BJP had further aggravated the ‘frustrations and discouragements’ of the Congress Party as it was a grand success and turned out to be a ‘Mega Show’ as rightly termed by the opposition Congress. While saying that the propaganda of the State Congress in branding the BJP as a Party against the Minorities and Christians in particular had become a futile exercise, the BJP has further blamed the Congress for obstructing the candidatures of Christians such as GG Swell and PC Alexander for the post of President of India.
The Congress has also been blamed for turning a blind eye to the recent arsons and attacks against churches and Christian institutes. Referring to the murder of Graham Staines, Ngullie questioned as to why the Congress failed to disclose the name of the Congress MLA who led Dara Singh to murder Staines. The BJP has also stated that the ‘Bed Rock of Naga Society’ attitude should not come in the way of the Naga Peace Process. While referring to the Prime Minister’s package to Nagaland as announced by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Ngullie has stated, “Contrary to the Party’s claims, the Congress led UPA government had stalled even the Prime Minister’s Special Development Package meant for the people of Nagaland by failing to release the funds meant for the same Prime Minister’s package.”
