All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary in-charge, Manipur, Sikkim, Nagaland, and Tripura, Christopher Tilak, on Monday emphasized that the people in the northeast have come to realized that the BJP has miserably failed to deliver on its tall promises.
Addressing an extended executive meeting of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) held at Congress Bhavan, Kohima, Tilak pointed out that the young Nagas are desperately looking for employment opportunities and raised his concern about the NDPP-BJP government’s inability to address key issues including the Naga political solution and the livelihoods of the people, concluding that the much-touted “double engine sarkar” in Nagaland was a “non starter”. The meeting was attended by members of the NPCC executive committee, District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents, frontals and department heads
According to NPCC communications department, Christopher Tilak also accused the BJP of focusing solely on electoral numbers and majoritarian politics, which he contrasted with the Congress’s focus on reaching out to the marginalised and the underrepresented.
He highlighted Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra as prime examples of the Congress’s commitment to grassroot politics and inclusive outreach.
Christopher further announced that Congress would soon begin a tour of Nagaland, starting from Eastern Nagaland, aimed at identifying and empowering leaders from diverse sections of society, with a special emphasis on women leaders.
The tour would be a part of the Congress’s efforts to reconnect with the people and address the pressing issues facing the state.
