Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju said that in today\u2019s context BJP was the only party capable of solving the Naga political problem and hammering out a solution.<\/span><\/div>\n
He was responding to a query on why the BJP had pulled out of the January 29 joint declaration by political parties to boycott the polls in favour of a solution to the Naga political problem.<\/div>\n
Rijiju said this while addressing a press conference at Niathu Resort, here on Saturday on the last day of his scheduled campaigning in the state.<\/div>\n
The BJP could not commit to bringing in a solution for the Nagas if they had run away from the democratic process of elections, he said. As a National political party and the party governing the nation, Rijiju said, BJP was very clear from day one that it would participate in the electoral process because it wanted to solve the Naga problem.<\/div>\n
This election is very historic he stated, adding that the elections were not being held to just form a new government but to define Naga politics and the future of Nagaland. He asserted that the NDPP-BJP alliance would not allow anything to interfere in the implementation of a Naga solution when it is finalized. <\/div>\n
Congress party did not even recognize the Naga problem because for Congress, the Naga problem was a law & order problem, Rijiju stated. He said that it was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who declared Naga history and its political problem to be unique and he had identified and understood the Naga problem with a commitment to solve it.<\/div>\n
He lamented that there had been so much instability in governance during the last four years and asserted that the NDPP-BJP alliance wanted to bring stability.<\/div>\n
He said that the alliance commits to implementing the promises in their election manifestos through a special action plan to change the lives of the Naga people and usher in development for Nagaland.<\/div>\n
 \u201cThe corruption is well known to everybody in Nagaland and Nagaland elections happens to be one the most expensive in the country\u201d, stated Rijuju.<\/div>\n
Till 2014, corruption had been the main issue at the national level but after Modi took over as the Prime Minister, corruption in the high levels were gone he said. \u201cNow we are catching the corrupt people there is no corruption in the offices of the ministers, prime minister\u2019s office or senior government functionaries because of transparency and accountability,\u201d Rijiju asserted. <\/div>\n
He praised the Naga people as vibrant and hard working with attractive ways of life but lamented the quality of governance that could not provide basic needs like good roads, good electrification and also the basic needs of schools in rural areas.<\/div>\n
Highlighting the bad road conditions, he expressed the view that not only did Nagaland need economic packages, but also transparency in governance.<\/div>\n
Referring particularly to the Prime Minister\u2019s Tuensang rally, Rijiju said that the response of the people to the BJP meetings and rallies were overwhelming and was a predictor of the positive results the party would see in the polls.<\/div>\n
Attempting to allay fears that his party had ulterior religious agendas, he stated that \u201cAs a federal structure, Nagaland will be governed by Nagas and no random people will turn up and become MLAs, ministers or chief minister.\u201d<\/div>\n
Attacking the party\u2019s detractors, he said that some had tried to spin a religious angle to the electioneering process because they could not find anything to attack about the BJP. He said he was glad that people had rejected the malicious campaign.<\/div>\n
\u201cThere is no question of the imposition of any faith. India is a secular country every state and region have their own identities,\u201d he asserted.<\/div>\n
While regretting that he could not visit Noklak and Akuluto with the chopper being unable to take off due to bad weather, Rijiju sent a message to the people there to support BJP and that he would take full responsibility for the development of their areas.<\/div>\n
He expressed hope that the NDPP-BJP alliance would win in the upcoming general assembly elections, form the government and fulfil the assurances and commitments made by the Prime Minister during his visit to Nagaland on February 22.<\/div>\n
The press conference was attended by BJP\u2019s national general secretary (Org) , Ram Lal; state BJP president, Visasolie Ihoungu and party workers.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
