NPF Pungro asks CM to fulfill ‘personal commitment’

The NPF office of 60 A/C Pungro-Kiphire while congratulating Neiphiu Rio for his victory in a letter said that the Chief Minister should consider the merits of T. Torechu, a senior most experienced and diehard regionalist since the start of his political career in 1980’s and therefore, allocation of cabinet berth in DAN-III is most deserving. It stated in the letter, ‘with deep anguish in our hearts for our leader T. Torechu whom we have elected with all our hopes but have been sidelined in your present government.’

The letter appended by Tsipongse, president, H. Thsangtsumong, working president, of NPF 60 A/C Pungro Kihpire respectively and Mark Lisemong, Advisory Secy, Divisional Unit, NPF also reminded that the Chief Minister had given a personal commitment to offer a better office during the party rally in Kiphire held on February 11, 2012 and had been received in good faith by the people of Kiphire district and added, “…It is injustice on your part and on your government on offering a portfolio to T Torechu as Parliamentary Secretary in DAN-III”.

It further cited that 60 A/C Pungro-Kiphire has never witnessed minister/cabinet representative for the last ten years in the Dan government and hence put forward the letter to the chief minister for immediate and prompt perusal.
