New Delhi/Kohima, Mar 3: The BJP's disgruntled ally in NPF, which parted ways with the saffron
party in the run up to the polls, has now started reaching out to the ruling
dispensation in the Centre.
NPF sources said the party is not against "realigning
with BJP" as it wants a congenial atmosphere for the "ongoing
political dialogue"
In the run-up to the recently concluded Nagaland assembly elections, the BJP and the NPF were engaged in a vitriolic verbal war.
The NPF’s chief, Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu, had even declared the 2018 Nagaland assembly elections as a choice between ‘outsiders’ and ‘Naga identity’ while asking voters not to ‘gamble with their faith, culture and identity.’
On the other hand, the BJP has also attacked NPF reminding it of the 15-year alliance that existed between the two parties prior to the 2018 Nagaland assembly elections.
In Nagaland, the BJP parted ways with its two-decade old partner NPF and chose to ally with newly floated NDPP.
Former Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio of NDPP is now expected to lead the new government if the results favour NDPP-BJP alliance.
Fearing 'head counting' exercise, if the polls throw up a hung assembly, the NPF has informed Nagaland Governor P B Acharya about the pre-poll agreements it had separately entered with the JD (U) party and NPP.
"Apprehension is if they need numbers, BJP and NDPP power brokers could play games with JD(U) and NPP as these two parties are already BJP's allies in the Centre," one senior NPF leader said. UNI
