Dimapur, December 16 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) held its extended executive committee meeting at Congress Bhavan, Kohima with the focus on preparation for the upcoming 2023 General Election.
According to a press release from the Communications Department, NPCC President K Therie stated that defeat and humiliation in a fair election is more bearable than MLAs defecting after being elected on the Party ticket. He said selection of candidates would be decentralised to the ACCCs and the party rank and file should go to the grassroots with the issues confronting Naga society today and the proposed solutions the Congress has to offer.
“The well represented meeting decided to prepare the party for the upcoming 2023 General Election and also expressed happiness over the AICC’s assurance of its support in this regard,” the release stated. Further, directives were issued and a preliminary draft of the Party’s Manifesto was also discussed. The meeting also decided for the party to be open towards a secular front in the interests of the people.
The Extended Executive Committee meeting saw representation and participation in the discussions from the DCCs, frontals and party leaders including former Chief Minister KL Chishi, former minister Zachilhu Vadeo and rank and file of the NPCC, it said.
