New Delhi, Mar 6: The NDPP-BJP alliance is all set to take over reins in Nagaland after
completion of "constitutional process" and the swearing in of Neiphiu
Rio-led ministry may take place later this week, NDPP sources said.
"We moved ahead in the government formation process
after BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma made it categorically clear that the
saffron party will respect pre-poll alliance with NDPP and severe ties with
NPF," a NDPP source said.
Along with NDPP's 18 members, BJP's 12 and one Independent and one JD(U) member, the alliance is claiming the support of 32 members in the 60-member assembly.
On Monday, Mr Sarma hoped that the incumbent chief minister T R Zeliang being a senior leader of ‘this region,’ would respect constitutional property and resign.
'We have advised Mr T R Zeliang that in respecting the best democratic norms, he should resign forthwith," he has said.
Mr Zeliang - as head of 27 MLA strong NPF - had tried to reach out to the BJP central leadership and re-establish ties with the Lotus party.
In the run-up to the just held assembly polls in the state, the NPF had parted ways from BJP ending 15-year-long association.
The BJP, which won 12 seats out of 20 constituencies it contested, has elected Y Patton as its legislative wing leader. As part of power-sharing formula with NDPP, Mr Patton is likely to be made deputy Chief Minister in the new dispensation.
Mr Sarma also maintained that breaking of alliance with NPF will have no impact in the stability of BJP-led coalition government in Manipur - where NPF is also a constituent.
"The Manipur government stability is not at stake because we have a huge majority there,' Mr Sarma has said. UNI
