Dimapur, April 8 : The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) today reacted to the speech of NCP leader and former speaker PA Sangma at election rallies in Nagaland yesterday and said that both Sangma and Nagaland chief minister, Neiphiu Rio ‘remote control’ gadgets to retain power in their respective states ‘by hook or by crook’. The NPCC predicted that Sangma’s joint campaign with Rio in Nagaland may bring misfortune to NPF-DAN Government in Nagaland in due course of time.
A press release issued by the NPCC Vice President, Zacilhö Vadeo, while reacting to election campaigning of PA Sangma in Nagaland, stated that P.A. Sangma used press buttons in controlling the entire NCP and its alliance (MPA) in Meghalaya whereas in Nagaland, Rio controls NPF and NCP ‘via remote control gadget’.
“Under their authority both the Nagaland and Meghalaya Speakers had mis-used (ultra-vires) their power and abused the provisions of the Constitution of India to ensure that the DAN Government in Nagaland and MPA Government in Meghalaya respectively stuck to power by hook or by crook,” the release asserted adding that ‘these illegal and unconstitutional conducts of both the Speakers resulted in the clamping of President’s rule in Nagaland and Meghalaya.
Hitting out at Rio’s word describing Sangma as the face of the N.E politics, Vadeo wondered ‘with what face Sangma is meeting people when he himself is subverting and adopting belligerent stand against the Constitution of India’.
In this regard, the release stated that Sangma, in his ambitious and opportunistic political mission, came down from Delhi and planted dynastic politics wherein he became MLA, installed one of his son as Finance Minister, another as Parliamentary Secretary in the MPA Ministry recently and his daughter as Lok Sabha MP of Tura seat. However, the release stated that the MPA members walked out from the government since Sangma was ‘too autocratic’ which resulted in the downfall of ‘his remote controlled Government’.
While saying that Sangma was a tall leader in Delhi whose popularity has declined extensively today, the release stated that he has transformed himself as the Convenor of N.E forum of non-Congress Parties and trying to mesmerize the people of the North East, ‘if catching the last straw for regaining his political hold’.
However, the NPCC while asserting that the people knows his political ploy so it will just be a futile exercise, stated that a man whose House in Meghalaya is in complete shamble and disorder, has no moral authority to conduct Election campaign in other States, and therefore asked Sangma to first set his house in order and speak to the Naga people.

“Well, such an unlucky person, Sangma’s joint campaign with Rio in Nagaland may bring misfortune to NPF-DAN Government in Nagaland in due course of time,” the release stated.
Asserting that Sangma is maintaining double standard in campaigning for the BJP in the northeast while the NCP ‘undisputed’ leader Sharad Pawar is all out against the saffron party, the NPCC affirmed that ‘his political mis-adventure has plunged him into serious identity crisis-a persona-non-grata in the circle of power politics’.

Cong rebuts Rio remark
Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio’s remark branding the Congress party as the Number 1 enemy of the NPF during an election rally yesterday has not gone down well with the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC). The Congress party asserted that Rio’s remark displayed scan regard for democratic value and tenets as Chief Minister of a democratic Institution, which precisely means the “end of Democracy – R.I.P”.
The Congress party asserted that in a parliamentary democracy, the opposition bench has its own defined role and responsibility to perform in the interest of its citizens and
A press release issued by the NPCC media cell chairman, R Paphino, while saying that the NPCC is acting as the watch dog of the people of Nagaland as an effective Opposition Party on commission and omission of the DAN Government, asserted that the party is against corruption, nepotism and all forms of anti-people’s practices.
Alleging the DAN Government and NPF are indulging in all forms of activities which are not in the interest of the people of Nagaland, Paphino stated that the Congress, as Opposition Party, cannot remain a mute spectator.
Also saying that Rio seems to have completely lost his balance of thinking as can be gauged through his expression, Paphino sated that Rio’s utterance displayed scant regard for democratic value and tenets as Chief Minister of a democratic Institution
“To be precise, his comment means end of Democracy – R.I.P,” the Congress leader asserted.
