DIMAPUR, MAY 17 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC), while congratulating Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio for winning the Nagaland LS polls, expressed hope that he will “dutifully carry out his duties without returning halfway as was the case with all other regional MPs from the state.” The party further wished the present Nagaland CM a “fruitful tenure” at the centre.
A press note from the NPCC President, SI Jamir said that the party respects the mandate of the people and expressed the party’s gratitude to all voters who “braved odds and remained steadfast in their commitment to vote for Congress candidate, KV Pusa.
The NPCC also congratulated the winning party at the centre while hoping that with a majority of its own, governance issues will not be tied down due to the pressures of political allies, which had “severely paralyzed many policy decisions during the past few years.”
“The ideals of the INC that stands for secular and inclusive growth of all people irrespective of religion, caste, language, region etc., has withstood the test of time,” stated the NPCC President. He asserted that the present electoral defeat for the congress at the centre, after a decade in power, “presents an excellent opportunity for the party to re-introspect and change itself in tune with the aspirations of people.”
The NPCC reiterated its commitment to the people of Nagaland and affirmed that “it will never waver from the ideals of the Indian National Congress and will always carry out its bounden duty as a responsible political party to serve and meet the aspirations of the people in the coming days.”
