Kohima, March 14:
Conflicting statements within the Nagaland BJP functionaries start pouring in following the selection of two candidates of LS and RS for the forthcoming parliamentary polls in Nagaland.
Although some sections of BJP functionaries sharply reacted against the nature of selection of the �so-called� consensus candidates of DAN partners to fight the coming parliamentary polls, some still denied such development took place while selecting the candidates.
On Thursday, NPF legislators, W Wangyuh Konyak and TR Zeliang have been selected to be the DAN candidates for the coming Parliamentary polls and this had created quite a flutter and mix responses within the DAN partners specially BJP.
TS Meren of State Secretary of Nagaland BJP disowned the official statement issued by its (Nagaland BJP) spokesman T Shuya stating that the talk about candidature of a Naga from the Naga hills of Manipur for the Parliamentary seat from Nagaland would be just a �kitchen talk of some people� which, he pointed out, had nothing to do with the State BJP Unit and hence it could not be termed as the party�s stand.
Meanwhile Nagaland BJP Spokesman, T Shuya still stood by his statement saying that those statement was �dictated and directed by the party President M Chuba AO� in the presence of BJP Nagaland Vice President Ntsemo Ngullie.
Shuya further explained that he himself and NC Zeliang could issue official statements on behalf of the party as official party spokesman in the State other than Party President, M Chuba Ao.
