DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 6 (MExN): Atso Doulo, former Working president of youth NPF wing, has shared his opinion that the State BJP voicing its concern over the lawlessness and corruption prevailing in the State “is heartening as it shows that the people have had enough”.
“These were some of the issues which led to the resignation of four NPF MLAs (Z. Obed, K. Therie, Yeangphong and Vatsü Merü) from the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and also the withdrawal of support to DAN Government by Khutovi, independent MLA”, Doulo stated in a press note received here. These five dissatisfied members of the government had also submitted a 5-Point memorandum to the Governor of Nagaland demanding the invocation of Article 371(A) clause (b) and/or Art. 356 of the Indian Constitution, the note stated.
Pointing to the very fact that the BJP is venting its dissatisfaction over the State Government’s failure on the same issue, the former NPF youth leader termed it as a clear indication that DAN’s days of incompetent governance are numbered. “When a political party is speaking out on the failures of the very coalition it is in partnership with, it shows that there is something very wrong with that government”, he stated.
The BJP’s statement also has far-reaching consequences as it is one of the major partners in the DAN coalition. It is an indication that the cracks in the wall have widened and the BJP and NPF will not go to the forthcoming polls together, the statement pointed out. He added that the BJP being DAN coalition’s major ally, the Governor of Nagaland now has more reason to review the memorandum by considering the BJP’s concern.
