DIMAPUR, JULY 14 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) today stated that President’s Rule is the “only solution for Nagaland.”
A press note from the NPCC said that the unprecedented drama of power struggle being enacted by the NPF legislators for the past one week “should make every sensible Naga to hang their heads in shame.”
“The patience of the Naga people is worth appreciating since the NPF despite miserably failing on all fronts keeps getting voted to power for three consecutive times. It is high time that the public stop expecting NPF to fulfill their tall promises and take them to task for making a mockery of democracy through their constant power struggle and failed promises,” the NPCC said.
Stating that the “people of Nagaland will not be fooled by the recent decision of the cabinet that promises stronger, better and cleaner government,” the party said: “Whether be it former CM Neiphiu Rio, TR Zeliang and present CM Dr Shurhozelie, all three of them including their cabinet and coterie are fully responsible for the sordid state of affairs plaguing the state today.”
The NPCC reiterated that the present government led by Dr Shurhozelie has been “reduced to miserable minority and the Governor instead of indulging in his usual procrastination that prolongs the political suspense, should intervene immediately by dismissing the minority government and recommend imposition of President’s Rule in which the NPF will be solely responsible.” The only respite for the people of Nagaland will be through imposition of President’s Rule, the NPCC said.
