In an attempt to dispel speculations and against the backdrop of allegations and counter-allegations of trying to engineer horse trading by NDPP and NPF, a resolution by PDA constituent party members and legislators have resolved to stand firm with the pre and post poll alliance under the leadership of chief minister Neiphiu Rio.
This resolution among several others was arrived at during a joint meeting of PDA MLAs and PDA Coordination Committee members held at the State Banquet Hall, Kohima on Friday. The meeting also unanimously resolved that the ruling PDA will provide stability and pursue the progressive development goals of NDA government under the “visionary leadership” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The house also appreciated the generous contributions of State government bodies and individuals for relief and rehabilitation and towards the CM’s Relief Fund.
While also appreciating all citizens of the State for positively responding to the appeal of the State government for mass social work and cleanliness drive in the aftermath of the unprecedented monsoon rains and calamity that had impacted the State, the House appealed to all the citizens to continue pursuing the goal of a clean and green Nagaland.
The meeting mourned the demise of former P Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who was towering personality and had made significant contributions and sacrifices in the nation building process. It also mourned the death of former legislator Imtikumzuk, who had served the people of Nagaland, particularly Mokokchung district, in a selfless and committed manner.
Meanwhile, as part of the PDA government’s endeavour to take governance and administration to all corners of the State in a manner that was inclusive and where all citizens and stakeholders participated in the development aspirations of the people, the house agreed to hold a full-fledged cabinet meeting in Kiphire.
Chief minister, Neiphiu Rio; deputy CM, Y. Patton and others including minister Kaito Aye of JD (U), adviser L. Khumo (NPP) spoke at the meeting. The programme was chaired by PDA chairman, Chingwang Konyak and welcome address by BJP president, Temjen Imna Along. NLA Speaker, Vikho-o Yhoshu pronounced the invocation.
