NPP Accuses NPF of Luring Five MLAs, Denies Merger Allegations

NPP leaders stated that the five MLAs who recently switched allegiance were lured by NPF through inducements, describing the move as politically motivated. They emphasized that no formal discussions or agreements for a merger had taken place between the parties. The accusation comes amid heightened political realignments in Nagaland following recent electoral developments. NPP urged the public and media to view the defections as opportunistic rather than indicative of any broader alliance. The party reiterated its commitment to its own ideological stance and warned against misinformation regarding merger talks.
