Mokokchung, March 8 (MTNews): The Clean Election Movement (NBCC) Team has congratulated the NDPP-BJP alliance government for forming the government for the second time in Nagaland but expressed apprehension of having an opposition-less government in a democratic state. “It appears that regional political parties have become too weak to give a good fight,” the CEC NBCC observed.
Dr. Villo Naleo, Convenor, CEC NBCC stated in a press release said, “However, we will keep our fingers crossed, firstly to pray for you and secondly to see you making a difference.”
CEC NBCC also offered to “bless the present 60 MLAs” with the “Franciscan Benediction” which read:
“May GOD bless you with discomfort, at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears, to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in the world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done, to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen.”
