Naga People’s Front (NPF) Central has termed as “absolutely false” the purported “rumours and speculations” doing the round that the NPF would not be a part of the non-Congress coalition arrangement in Manipur to provide an alternative government to the Congress party, and that the NPF Manipur unit put forth pre-conditions before joining the BJP-led coalition arrangement in Manipur.
NPF central office through its Media & Press Bureau (M&PB) said the rumours were contrary to what the NPF president and Nagaland chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu had said that the NPF would extend support to any non-Congress coalition arrangement/government in Manipur.
M&PB reminded that the party was a major coalition partner of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) formed in May 2016 in Guwahati. It said NEDA was launched with the declared aim of ridding the Congress party from the Northeast and to bring all-round development to the region under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Further, M&PB said the NPF has also been in alliance with the BJP and other non-Congress political parties in Nagaland since 2003 under the banner and nomenclature of Democratic Alliance of Nagaland. M&PB stated that the statement was being issued to clear doubts and rumours going on in Manipur, especially in political and media circles.
