Dimapur, September 19 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on Saturday expressed doubts about whether the bye-election to the 14 A/C Southern Angami-I and 60 A/C Kiphire-Pungro would be held, owing to the “political solution coming up within September 2020.”
The bye-elections in the two constituencies are due in October/November. “All evidences displayed in recent times between State Government and the Governor are indications that all is not well,” NPCC president K Therie stated in a press release.
The NPCC further alleged the collapse of law and order since the regional political party adopted a policy to support and facilitate the peace process. “They have freed all factions to impose their governance over its citizens. There is no more law and order,” the release added.
Meanwhile, taking a hit at the BJP, the NPCC further stated that “With BJP, we are going back towards BC.” It said that the “nation needs Congress now more than ever and NPCC is the only party standing for Nagas of Nagaland.”
The State Congress alleged that none of the candidates have raised issues such as the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA), petrol and diesel price hike, multi-taxation, corruption etc. It observed that almost all intending candidates are looking for Ruling NDPP and BJP tickets and added that Congress party rank and file will ask the voters if it is their true demand.
“Congress has candidates and Congress soldiers are ideologically prepared to be called for duty any time. However, we will assess the mood of the people and take decision at an appropriate time,” the NPCC stated.
