“After ensuring that the issue of Frontier Nagaland Territory (FNT) was scuttled, the NDPP/BJP coalition surely orchestrated the latest outrage whereby the writ of ENPO was undermined in the form of NDPP/BJP candidates filing their nominations in the
various ULBs of eastern Nagaland.
The genesis of betrayal by the NDPP/BJP coalition started when the Ministry of Home affairs (MHA) had issued a directive whereby the state government was supposed to give its opinion on the FNT Draft Working Paper (DWP) before the 31st
of December 2023, and whereas the state government sat on the DWP according to ENPO press release in April 2024. An enraged ENPO exposed the diabolic policy of CM Neiphiu Rio’s government through various press statements and decided to
abstain from the LS polls which was historic.
This latest betrayal by Rio’s government is nothing but an act of retribution by the NDPP/BJP coalition who were utterly humiliated by Mr. SUPONGMEREN JAMIR’S victory.
It’s too apparent that Mr. Rio has fooled the ENPO people twice, doubly aided by his rubber stamp president Chingwang Konyak. Mr. Chingwang Konyak, the president of the NDPP, and a former talk team member of ENPO, could have stopped the NDPP candidates from filing their nominations but it’s apparent that he chose to betray his own people.
The Rising People’s Party condemns the divide and rule policy of the NDPP-BJP coalition government whereby the ENPO has been utterly humiliated and made to lose credibility in the eyes of the Naga people.”
