Kohima: In a major boost to the Congress, the Naga People’s Front (NPF), which is the main opposition party in the 60-member Assembly, has decided to support K L Chishi, the grand old party’s candidate for the lone Lok Sabha seat in the state.
The NPF, which is not fielding any candidate for the general election, announced its decision to back the Congress candidate during a consultative meeting of central office bearers and MLAs here on Saturday.
“The NPF has decided to lend issue-based support to Congress candidate KL Chishi in the upcoming Lok Sabha election,” its president Shrhozelie Liezietsu said.
“That, however, does not change the party’s stand on regionalism. Also, the NPF is not an ally of the Congress,” Liezietsu clarified. (PTI)
