The election campaign of People’s Democratic Alliance’s (PDA) consensus candidate for Lok Sabha election 2024 to Nagaland Parliamentary Constituency, has touched Tseminyu today.

Addressing the gathering at Tseminyu Town Hall, PDA consensus candidate Dr Chumben Murry called upon the people not to believe the false propaganda in the social media.

“Whatever decision you are going to take, let it be informed decision,” he said.

Congress is all out against BJP as anti-Christian, asking the people not to vote for BJP because of Christian persecution but does not talk how it going to handle the issue, he said.

Saddened by Christian persecution in any part of the world not just India, Dr Murry vowed that, if elected, he will take up the matter and also take part in the North East Christian Forum.

Touching on peace talk and negotiation, he said that if elected, he will take the yearning for early resolution to Naga political issue.
The upcoming Lok Sabha election is crucial for Nagas and better be represented by a regional party, wherein he belong to regional party-Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), he added. 

Dr Murry also said that if elected, he would “take wisdom” of all 60 members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and work hand in hand for development the State. 
‘Help him win by 
record margin’
Meanwhile, Nagaland’s Urban Development & Municipal Affairs Advisor Zhaleo Rio said the PDA consensus candidate is supported by 60 members of the 14th NLA while eight political parties including those from independents have extended their support.  “This means that he (Dr. Murry) has become the candidate of the Nagas,” he maintained.  “He is a capable leader,” the Advisor vouched, appealing the people to elect him to speak for Naga rights and development. “We have to help him win by record margin,” he added.
‘No one should 
mislead public’
Nagaland’s CAWD & Taxes Advisor Kudecho Khamo said that false propagandas, criticisms and video of atrocities in India are being used against BJP. “Remember and make it clear that there is no BJP candidate here except NDPP. Therefore, no one should mislead the public,” he said.
He said that the NDPP-led PDA government led by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio is defending the people rights, land, culture and religion.
He also appealed all the ranks and files of the NDPP to rededicate themselves to the principles and policies of the party and the government. Describing Dr Murry as seasoned leader, highly educated, humble and God fearing man, Khamo appealed the people to work hard to ensure his victory with a big margin.
‘Nagaland a beacon of 
unity and peace’
“We are here to rally behind a visionary, and a refined leader who embodies the aspirations of our people: Dr. Chumben Murry, the consensus candidate of the PDA,” said MLA Jwenga Seb.
Today, we stand united, not just as members of different political parties, but as citizens who envision a future marked by stability, peace, and development for our beloved state and country, he said. 

“This unity is a testament to our collective resolve to support a candidate who promises to bring about transformative change,” Seb maintained. 

This election campaign is a confluence of unity and purpose, supported by 60 elected members of the 14th NLA, all rallying behind a single candidate, he said, terming it a “unprecedented show of solidarity” clearly indicating the collective desire for a future defined by harmony and progress.
Seb further claimed that under the leadership of Chief Minister Rio, Nagaland has become a beacon of unity and peace. Our journey towards peace and tranquillity has been further strengthened by the NDA government at the centre, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he added.
