The main theme of Congress will be to provide Clean Governance with zero tolerance towards corruption. The party reaffirms its commitment to defend freedom of faith, culture, customs, social practices and our land. We will not allow Nagaland to be destroyed by communal forces in connivance with regional forces as our ancestors were proud warriors and have paid with their life and blood to protect them. We do respect people of other faiths and beliefs so also, we expect them to respect our faith, beliefs and way of life. We will go on an extensive campaign to call upon the voters of the state to vote out the BJP-RSS and their comfort political parties.
Congress shall set up all 60 candidates. We are for God fearing candidates who can give clean governance and rescue our people from the huge mess perpetrated by regional parties who are in cahoots with communal forces. Towards this end, NPCC will hold a state level convention in later part of Oct 2017, in which the Hon’ble Congress Vice President Sh Rahul Gandhi has agreed to address the gathering of congress workers that will kick start our assembly election campaign. Former Finance Minister & Sr Congress leader P Chidambaram will also attend the event.
NPCC reiterates that Nagaland and its people are equal partners in the Union of India as provided in the Constitution and therefore shall not allow the BJP-RSS to hold our people and the state to ransom by taking advantage of regional parties who have no principles or ideology to withstand the onslaught of their communal and divisive agenda.
