\nAnnouncing the names at a press conference here at Congress Bhavan, NPCC president, KV Pusa appealed electorates of these constituencies to vote for the Congress candidates \u201cin the name of clean politics.\u201d
\nNPCC chief informed that the ticket distribution ceremony for Lok Sabha and four by-polls would be held March 24, 9 a.m. at Congress Bhavan Kohima.
\nHe maintained that efforts were on to bring in AICC president Sonia Gandh and AICC general secretary, Rahul Gandhi to campaign for the party candidates in the state.
\nRefuting the statement of state chief minister Neiphiu Rio that Congress party in the state was a habitual liar, Pusa said that it was very unfortunate and unbecoming on the part of Naga leader in the status of chief minister to utter such words. NPCC president demanded that Rio should apologize to the people of Nagaland.
\nCLP Leader Chingwang Konyak addressing the press conference said that Rio\u2019s regime has brought lots of scam in various departments and urged the people to vote for Congress in order to wipe out corruption.
\nMeanwhile, NPMCC president Atsole Wazah in a press statement has also \u201ccondemned the irresponsible and immature public statement of NPF and Neiphiu Rio.\u201d
\nCongress mahila president asserted that being the head of the government and political party leader, he should be aware of the Congress party\u2019s responsibility to highlight the \u201cwrongdoing\u201d of NPF led DAN government in the state.
\nNPMCC also held that NPF as major constituent of ruling DAN alliance should be matured enough to accept the constructive criticisms of the opposition party instead of vending out anger and shouting immaturely by calling Congress a habitual liar.
