Dimapur, Jan. 28: The Wokha unit of BJP has condemned what it stated was ‘hate speech’ given by home minister Y Patton during an NPF meeting at Bhandari town on January 26 last. The home minister has been accused of saying: “BJP is surviving by the little air (oxygen) supply by the NPF".
A press statement from the party unit on Saturday stated that the speech was recorded in video clipping and has gone viral. As a member of the DAN coalition, the BJP has been maintaining its principle, it added.“The BJP party being a disciplined national political party sticks to its principle and can survive whatsoever...Therefore the BJP Wokha district urged the home minister who holds a responsible status to desist (from making) irrelevant statement which creates division in the alliance.”
