DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 5 (MExN): NPF President and regional stalwart Dr. Shürhozelie today said that the NPF led DAN Government is a government of achievements. Replying to the Congress allegation that the NPF government was a ribbon cutting government, Dr. Shürhozelie agreed with the Congress saying that only when projects and development initiatives are completed, ribbons are cut. He said that it was our tradition to offer dedicatory prayers and then cut the ribbon every time something new is completed. He said that the more ribbon we cut, the more achievements we are completing. We have been cutting ribbons almost every day, he said.
The NPF president was speaking at the NPF rally held in Phek town ahead of the filing of nominations of the NPF candidates. A press note to this effect was issued by Abu Metha, Press Secretary to the NPF.
Responding to the Congress booklet of allegations, the NPF president fired back saying that the booklet is filled with false allegations and lies. The Congress people are habitual liars and all their allegations in the book have been accurately and factually answered with facts and figures in the assembly, Dr. Shurhozelie said. Their booklet is only about money and allegations filled with lies.
He further said that the Congress is a divided house with three chief ministerial candidates without realising that they cannot have a chief minister when they are sure to sit in the opposition. Let them sit in opposition and decide who their chief minister will be, he said.
The NPF president once again clarified that the NPF never committed that it would bring political solution within three months. This is just another lie of the Congress, he said.
Also speaking at the election rally, Medical minister and sitting MLA from Phek town, Kuzhuluzo Neinhu, stated that the NPF is a peaceful and violent free party. He assured the public that the NPF would abide by the model code of conduct and appealed to the NPF supporters to adhere to the election guidelines. He further appealed to the electorate of Phek district to come out and support the NPF candidates in all the five assembly segments. The rally was attended by all five NPF candidates of Phek district, namely, Neiba Kronu, Deo Nukhu, Chotisuk Sazo and Yitachu. Others present at the rally included NPF working president Huska, NPF vice president Pusazo, veteran politician Chingwang Konyak and a host of senior political leaders and public leaders.
