DIMAPUR, Aug 26 NNN : Is Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio quitting state politics to join national politics?
These speculations have been doing the round ever sincea daily made a report about it on August 2.
The correspondent stood by his report and said, “Yes, the Nagaland chief minister had expressed willingness to join the national politics when I interviewed him.”
On August 2, Neiphiu Rio had told him in New Delhi, “We are still discussing it within the party but I would like to come to New Delhi,” hinting to shift his base of politics from Nagaland to the national capital.
A Nagaland paper said “To the surprise of many, a news report recently published in the paper mentioned about the possibility of chief minister Neiphiu Rio contesting in the next Lok Sabha election and shifting base to Delhi to dabble in national politics”. Longkumer also said the news report was given credence by the fact that Rio himself was quoted as expressing his desire to make this political move.
Till date, there has been no rebuttal either by the ruling Naga Peoples Front (NPF) nor by the chief minister’s office
to this news item thereby indicating that Rio is indeed not ruling out the prospect of contesting the next Lok Sabha polls.
Rio’s hope heaps on the line that National Democratic Alliance (NDA) may come to power at the Centre. Rio belongs
to NPF, the party steadfastly opposed by the Congress in Nagaland.
Meanwhile, attempts to contact Abu Metha, the media advisor of the Nagaland chief minister for confirmation by NNN proved futile today.
However, speculations in Nagaland about Neiphiu Rio quitting his post as the chief minister of Nagaland to join the national politics have been partly substantiated by the ongoing politiking of (NPF) in connection with the ensuing by-poll to the Noksen assembly constituency of Tuensang district, Nagaland scheduled for September 4.
C.M Chang was the member of Lok Sabha but had resigned to constest in the February 23, 2013 assembly election of Nagaland. He got elected from Noksen assembly constituency from the Naga Peoples Front (NPF) ticket and was assigned with the Education portfolio. He had however, resigned as the MLA in the month of March and retained the Lok Sabha seat and continues as an MP and also as the Education minister of Nagaland till date. However, early this month, the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN), in which the NPF is the main constituent, had announced that CM Chang is the consensus candidate for Noksen by-poll.

Karnataka by-poll result indicative of UPA III : Moily

New Delhi, Aug.26 (ANI): Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister M. Veerappa Moily on Monday said the Congress Party’s victory in the recent by-polls in Karnataka’s Mandya and Rural Bangalore constituencies is a clear indicator of the UPA returning to power at the Centre for a third consecutive five-year term.
He said the result was a clear rejection of the (JD-S) and the (BJP).
“This is a tremendous victory. This is an indication that the people of Karnataka did not tolerate, that means they don’t want JD-S and they don’t want BJP. This is a rejection of both the parties. This is a very clear indication because in Mandya we (Congress) were not that comfortable,” he told media here today.
“This has also demonstrated the fact that the march of Modi is just in the back burner, it will not result into any brightening side not only in Karnataka but the rest of the country. It is a clear signal as our Prime Minister and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi have said that in 2014 it will be the Congress victory again and UPA III will be back,” he added.
The Congress on Saturday won both the Mandya and rural Bangalore seats by heavy margins, defeating their rival Janata Dal Secular (JD-S) in their stronghold.
The Congress Party candidates surged ahead of their rival Janta Dal Secular (JD-S) in Mandya and Bangalore rural Lok Sabha constituencies in the August 21 by-polls.
According to reports, actress and Congress candidate Ramya was ahead of her opponent C S Puttaraju by over 12,000 votes while her party colleague D K Suresh in rural Bangalore had established a lead of over 18,000 votes against JDS’ Anita Kumaraswamy, wife of former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, in the third round.
The Congress had swept to power in the May Assembly polls and JDS had fought a bitter battle.
Reports state that BJP had backed JDS candidates in the two segments, where by-poll was necessitated following the resignation of N Cheluvarayaswamy (Mandya) and Kumaraswamy (Bangalore Rural) who quit after being elected to the Assembly in May.
Mandya is a bastion of JDS, which won five of the eight Assembly seats in the district in the May elections.
