PM has no business with Nagaland poll: BJP
Kohima (PTI): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Nagaland to canvass for Congress candidates has come under severe criticism from the BJP which took a broadside against him saying he has no moral right to seek votes as he failed to realise any of his commitments made for northeast.
"For what business has he (Prime Minister) come to Nagaland ahead of the assembly election? He was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Assam but what has he done for the people of the region?" BJP national vice president and former minister Juel Oram asked.
Singh came here only on the eve of assembly election and not earlier, Oram told reporters at Dimapur.
Alleging that Congress never gave any attention to the northeast, the BJP leader blamed the party for problems faced by the states.
Oram also dared Congress to prove allegations of misappropriation of Central fund by the DAN government during the past five years.
"The Congress is launching misinformation campaign to tar the secular image of BJP, as it is worried over spurt in BJP's popularity in every part of the country, including Nagaland," Oram said.
