NPF poor show a jolt to Naga integration
Times of India | K Sarojkumar Sharma | TNN Mar 7, 2012, 01.54AM IST Imphal:
The poor performance of the Naga People's Front (NPF), which won in four out of 11 Naga constituencies, has virtually given a hazy message that the Nagas are not in favour of integrating their community under one single administrative entity. Another point to upset the Nagaland-based party is the victory of a large number of Naga candidates contesting on Congress ticket.
The Congress has won 14 of the 20 seats in the tribal-dominated hill districts, including six in Naga areas. In the valley, the party won 28 seats of the total 40.
"Since NPF is contesting for the first time in Manipur, the people are not aware of the party. Winning four out of 12 seats in Naga constituencies is a great success," said John. He nevertheless said the party had committed a small mistake in choosing candidates for which the performance was not good.
Terming Ibobi Singh as the enemy of the Nagas, Rio said if the Nagas elect Ibobi, he will always be the enemy of Nagas, tribals and backward people. He had said the NPF was raising the demand for integration of all Naga-inhabited areas of the northeast under one administrative roof.
