Imphal, May 19 2014 :
The BJP, Ukhrul reacting to the out-going Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio's statement that, "Congress has not defeated us, Nagas have defeated us," dismissed the comment as nothing but the reflection of the NPF's politics of exclusivity.
President of Ukhrul unit of the BJP, Worthington said the NPF candidate is not the whole Nagas' mandated candidate.
"The NPF has done more harm than good," stated Worthington.
"Election should not be conducted on the line of community, caste, creed and religion," he added.
The BJP leader then said if the recently concluded poll was free and fair, the BJP would have won by a huge margin in the Outer seat of Manipur.
Worthington, citing the case of Thoubal district (valley district but falls in Manipur Outer seat), also said that other than the Congress, BJP is the only party that can reach to the electorates in both the plains and in the hills.
"Due to the malpractices and manipulations, booth capturing and rigging the common enemy of all the parties i.e the Congress, has won both the seats in Manipur," rued Worthington.
The BJP leader then expressed his gratitude to the people of Ukhrul district for their unwavering and determined support to the BJP.
He also hailed the few thousand BJP voters of Ukhrul district as the beacons of political wisdom.
