NPF exposed openly in the public domain :: NDPP

22nd May 2019 , Dimapur

The NDPP has time and again stated that the policies of the opposition are rife with “double standard” and “double speak” and once again on the eve of the counting to the nations general elections of 2019, the “politics” of the NPF has been exposed openly in the public domain through the list of participating political parties and their representatives who attended the meetings of the NDA and the opposition parties at Delhi on 21st May 2019 (copies attached).

The opposition parties headed by the Congress party organised a meeting of all non-BJP and non-NDA political parties at Delhi on Tuesday and in the list of attendees and political parties, it is seen that the NPF party was represented by its Secretary General and Hon’ble MP (Rajya Sabha) Mr. K. G. Kenye and his PRO Dr. S. R. Nareshram with their signatures appended at serial numbers 15 & 20.

On the same day the BJP National President Mr. Amit Shah had organised a meeting cum dinner of all NDA partners in the presence of the Hon’ble Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi where the NDPP, a constituent of NEDA was represented by the Hon’ble Chief Minister Mr. Neiphiu Rio. What comes as asurprise is that in the list of NEDA partners who attended the meeting released by Mr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Convener of NEDA, it is seen that the NPF was present and was represented by its Manipur unit president.

This coming at a time when the NPF have publicly declared to withdraw their support to the BJP in Manipur is not only obnoxious but should bedubbed as the most shameful political gimmickry in recent times. Does the opposition party have not an iota of self-esteem that they have to demean itself so low? And with what audacity did they decide to face the BJP whom they have not only hurled insult after insult at over the last more than one year, but with their recent decision?

The NDPP has ridiculed the decision of the NPF to pull out of the BJP alliance in Manipur after the counting is over o the 23rd, and this double speak of the NPF is exposed by the fact that they have shamelessly attended both the meetings of the NDA as well as the opposition parties at Delhi on Tuesday. How much more blatant can the NPF become in openly declaring that they want to cut the cake and eat it too? Is this the kind politics that the NPF is going to give the Naga people?

The NDPP is flabbergasted and shocked at the actions of the opposition NPF and words cannot describe the level of lies and deceit that they have been feeding the people. It is now for the people to judge whether the politics of the NPF is rife with double speak or not now that the documents are in the public domain for all too see.
