Dimapur, Oct. 15 (EMN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has criticised the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) as being “all words and no deeds.” The NPF issued a press release on Monday listing out what the opposition implied were promises that the Nagaland government failed to honour.
The press release read: ‘Action speaks louder than words and if the correlated motto ‘Facta Non Verba’ of the NDPP regarding the adage is any indication concerning the utter failure of Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and his never-ending promises, the Latin phrase better suited for Rio and his NDPP will be ‘Verba Non Facta’ given the fact that his promises were all words and no deeds.’
The opposition accused the ruling party of having the ‘intention of fooling the citizens of Nagaland at face value while giving credence to the high sounding call for change.’
The NPF asserted that the government’s approach was built on ‘words and not deeds’ even as the “promised 100 days passed by without achievements.” Further, the ‘promise of a new Nagaland state sports policy to be implemented in the state within 100 days time has failed to see the dawn of the day,’ the NPF opined.
Except for ‘sugar-coated bragging before the public every now and then, the latest being at the closing function of the NE zone inter-state badminton championship in Dimapur on Saturday, nothing concrete has come out till date,’ the opposition stated.
Among other allegations that the NPF made was ‘intentions’ to bring all sports associations and federations in the state under the Nagaland Olympic Association as a “self-seeking initiative for wealth accumulation.”
