The press communique issued by the NDPP Media & Communication Committee and uploaded on its official Twitter handle on Sunday stated the โallegation that the NDPP is โattempting to poach NPF MLAsโ is nothing but a public display of the insecurity of the opposition party and the lack of confidence they have on their own elected representativesโ.
The National Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) clarified that it โnever approached any of the opposition MLAs to join its foldโ. The NDPP alleged โit is an open secret that there is a high level of frustration and restlessness amongst the NPF MLAs for having had to sit as opposition members for the last almost one yearโ.
The NDPP urged the opposition party to again concentrate on keeping its flock together rather than raising โfalse allegationsโ against the ruling Government.

It also stated: โโฆit is still fresh in the memories of the people of the State as to what kind of governance the NPF provided in the last four years of the DAN-III government with the tumultuous intra-party political upheavals which the State has never experienced in the last 55 years which invariably denied the people of the State their rightsโ.
It alleged โunder the NPF Government, Nagaland witnessed the severest of public outrage over the ULB elections leading to the loss of two promising young livesโ.
โThe claims of the opposition on the ongoing road projects in the State once again highlight the selfish attitude of the NPF as it is a public admittance that they as a party are only for the accolades and not for the welfare of the people,โ the NDPP stated.
The NDPP reiterated that their โcommitment is to work towards fulfilling the needs and wants of the people of Nagaland and will not indulge in petty selfish political dramaticsโ.
It also alleged: โโฆthe PDA Government is still trying to overcome the huge burden of financial liabilities left by the previous NPF-led DAN-III governmentโ.

The NDPP termed the allegations levelled against it by the Leader of Opposition (LoP) on funds related to the RD Department as โfalseโ which is only his โimagination and holds no truthโ.
The PDA assures the people of Nagaland, especially the rural population and the farmers that the present Government will take every possible step to ensure that every citizen of the State will get that is rightfully due, it added.
โNo funds have been misused under any circumstances and the allegation of the LoP lacks factual authenticity nor any truth. It is completely politically motivated,โ the NDPP stated.
โWe assure the people that we will not run the affairs of the State like it prevailed during the previous governments under the NPF regime where corruption was the order of the day,โ it added.
The NDPP further stated they had promised change and โeverybody can see that positive change is starting to take shape in Nagaland with the active cooperation and contribution from the citizens and the masses.โ
โThe NDPP once again puts on record our commitment of development of the State, the welfare of the people and good governance through accountability, transparency and sustainability,โ it further stated.
