Nagaland BJP MLA Imkong L Imchen has issued a stern warning regarding the escalating tensions between NDPP and BJP workers at the district level, cautioning that such clashes undermine the spirit of coalition governance.
In the latest state assembly elections, the NDPP and BJP had a prearranged seat-sharing deal, contesting 40 and 20 seats, respectively, to form a strong coalition under Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio. However, internal rifts pose a challenge to the coalition's effectiveness, particularly following the NDPP's boosting its strength through the merger of seven NCP legislators.
Imchen, a veteran five-time MLA, stresses the importance of harmony between the partners across Nagaland's districts. He has personally engaged in mediating efforts to reconcile differences, particularly focusing on Mokokchung district. He underscores that maintaining coalition unity and a shared governing approach is key to long-term success in the state's political landscape.
