\n\u201cIt may be recalled that the ongoing developmental projects like the Prime Minister Package, four lane road between Dimapur and Kohima, scheme for employment of 25,000 youths etc. are being withheld by the UPA Govt. at the Centre for reasons best known to them,\u201d stated a resolution passed at the BJP State Executive Meeting held Friday in Dimapur.
\nThe State BJP said it had also taken note of the game plans of the Opposition Congress, which was \u201chell bent\u201d to destabilize the present DAN Government by constantly waging \u201cbaseless allegations\u201d against the government.
\nInstead of \u201cbaseless\u201d allegations, the Congress should play the role of constructive and positive opposition and to apprise the UPA Government to give due attention to the people of Nagaland in the manner the previous NDA government had done, BJP said.
\nOn the Naga peace process, BJP appreciated the DAN Government for its \u201cserious efforts and commitment\u201d towards finding a permanent peaceful negotiated settlement and reconciliation amongst different Naga national groups. The party expressed satisfaction that the political affairs committee (PAC) constituted by the government and NGOs had made much progress in this direction.
\nAppealing to the UPA Government to expedite the Naga peace process and talks, the party also urged all Naga groups to pay heed to the voice of the people for cessation of all forms of violence and to come forward and participate in the process of unity and reconciliation.
\nIn this context, the BJP suggested that the government and Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) should organize special get together programmes for women, wives and families of all Naga groups, so that they can come closer with each other.
\nCondemning the atrocities committed against Christians by \u201cfanatic\u201d groups, the party also hit out at the VHP\u2019s opposition to granting of financial assistance by state governments for repair and reconstruction of place of worships.
\nOn price hike, the BJP took a dig at the UPA government for failing to check escalation of prices and termed UPA as \u201cUnlimited Pricing Alliance.\u201d Further, the BJP resolved to continue its support to the DAN government and the NDA.
\nVarious BJP leaders including Forest minister MC Konyak, parliamentary secretary for Geology & Mining Y Patton, former minister Imtilemba Sangtam, former State BJP president M Chuba and Pohwang Konyak addressed the executive meeting, which was chaired by State BJP general secretary (Admn), TL Merry.
