Dimapur, March 31 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) today alleged that Congress in Nagaland seems to have lost all sense of direction, that its leaders were exposed for feeding their high command with lies and false allegations while referring to Rahul Gandhi’s speech in Nagaland, which the NPF called “lies and wrong information.”
After being pulled up by its feared high command in Delhi, the Nagaland Congress could only point their fingers at the NPF, a press statement issued by NPF Press & Media Bureau stated. It claimed that the state of affairs in the Congress indicates the lack of vision and clarity on any aspect. “The Congress leaders in Nagaland in the past decade have miserably failed to provide any vision to the Naga people, particularly the youth. They have become habitual liars and have passed on this undesirable habit to its high command. They have become an opposition that is stuck in making false allegations, unjustified accusations and time and again they have repeated these lies at every given opportunity. Their book of false allegations is a compilation of questions raised in the assembly over the past years, all of which have been satisfactorily replied with facts and figures,” accused the statement.
The NPF further stated that Rahul Gandhi’s address to the people lacked any intellectually convincing agenda and there was neither vision nor motivation for the youth. “Sonia’s son probably has some of the best minds of the country working for him from behind the scenes, but even then his capability has been exposed time and again,” it added. “He has failed to convince the people of the region in all his visits to different states of the north east, apart from making promises and commitments.”
Stating that the people of the North East want action and decisions, not promises and commitments which remain pipe dreams, NPF said the “Congress leaders in Nagaland have become spiteful and their below the belt politics reveals their intent.” NPF accused the Congress of being jealous to see the growth and strengthening of the NPF. “The election of Neiphiu Rio as the leader of the North East Regional Parties Front (NERPF) speaks volumes of the acceptability of the NPF and the Chief Minister of Nagaland in the eyes of the people of the region.”
Though, Congress belong to a national party, NPF said, “they have failed to serve the people and they have succeeded only in serving the Gandhi family in far-away Delhi, who come on a flying visit once in five years during elections.” As for Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, it stated, his two terms of prime ministership will come to an end without having set foot on the 16th State of the Indian Union.
The NPF while expressing confidence that Naga people are proud of the party’s achievements and contributions, assured to play a greater and more contributory role beyond “our” border. The party has appealed to the Naga family across all boundaries to come forward and extend support, love, and prayers to the party and its leadership so that “our voice can be heard and respected.”
