Y Patton calls to exercise franchise democratically

Wokha, June 10 (MExN): The Home Minister of Nagaland, Y Patton has urged voters to exercise their franchise democratically, while telling them to avoid clanism and favoritism politics, according to a press release received here.   Speaking at the inaugural programme of Niroyo village circular road, he further stressed that Lotha voters in particular and Nagas in general are deeply rooted in clan favoritism and villages bound politics, “which is not the norms of democracy.”   Patton also stated that good governance is judged by developmental strategies, therefore he urged the citizens to wisely and judiciously choose their representatives who can uphold and develop the society.  

YM Yollow, Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, who also addressed the gathering as the guest speaker, assured that the Naga People’s Front (NPF) is the only political party in the State which base their manifesto on Naga political issue. “The party will not fail the dream of the Nagas and will continue to pursue for early settlement (of Naga political issue),” he stated.  

Yollow further expressed confidence that the NPF party will win during the next general election, which will be held in the early part of 2018. In this, he urged the voters to vote for NPF “to fulfill the aspiration of the Nagas.”  

The Home Minister had earlier inaugurated the circular road and village streetlight which was constructed under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) 2016-2017 and BRGF 2015-16.
