Zeliang, proposing to tie up with the NDPP, the state BJP clarified that its main coalition partner NDPP has issued a clarification reaffirming the pre-poll alliance with BJP on March 8.
“The NDPP in an unequivocal term has expressed to re-strengthen the PDA,” it said. The state BJP also affirmed its commitment towards its pre-poll alliance partner, the NDPP.
It further affirmed its commitment towards its pre-poll alliance partner and appreciated the political maturity and statesmanship shown by the NDPP under the astute leadership of chief minister Neiphiu Rio and the NDPP leaded by its president Chingwang Konyak.
The state BJP president, Temjen Imna Along, and office bearers also endorsed the leadership of BLP leader and deputy chief minister Y. Patton and other party legislators to take the right decision collectively in case of any “untoward scenario” befalling the PDA government.
The state BJP said it is fully committed in keeping the PDA intact and unfazed by any “disruptive moves” as affirmed by the NDPP in their communiqué on March 7.
It added that the pre-poll alliance arrived at in forming the present PDA government has also been attributed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah.
