NPCC
Mokokchung, March 17 (MTNews): President of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC), K Therie said today that the election of Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament in Nagaland “is going to be a sad reality.” He said, “I have asked Nagaland Christians to imagine sending a BJP MP to Parliament and how it would reflect on us, on 9th Feb 2023.”
It may be recalled that Therie, on February 9, further said that “Electing a saffron RS MP from Nagaland State Assembly will be the final death-blow to the image and standing of the people of Nagaland, specially the Church.”
Therie further said that “ten MLAs need to propose” a candidate to file nominations for Rajya Sabha seat. “As such, if NPF and NDPP do not set up a candidate, they will be responsible. Technically they are not BJP, but they continue to function as a proxy of the BJP,” Therie said.
It may be mentioned that the last date for submission of nomination for the lone Rajya Sabha seat from Nagaland is March 21 and the election will be held on March 31.
