Nagaland Congress President K Therie also mocked at Prime Minister's promise of a corruption free government when his party was in alliance with "most corrupt leaders" of the previous government in the state.
Congress is seriously concerned for Nagaland must install a god-fearing and secular-minded government to salvage Nagalands society from transforming into Hindutva, stated a release issued by Therie.
Further maintaining that it will be foolish to expect change from NDPP and BJP who have completely ruined Nagalands culture, infrastructure and systems, Therie said Prime Minister Narendra Modi promises a corruption free government, however he is in alliance with the most corrupt leaders of previous government in the state.
Asserting that Congress is committed to stand for the said virtues, Therie said We (Congress) stand by our commitment and will act as a deterrent in the new state assembly.

NPCC President K Therie while expressing that Nagalands electorate has truly changed said that the democratic process of electing representatives through conscious voting has now changed to that of who can pay more.
We have lost inherent values of honesty, decency and Christian principles, he pointed while adding that accepting and demanding cash and vehicles have become the new trend.
Attributing such phenomena to the two elections of 2008 and 2013, he said corrupt governance have transformed the people into a culture of fulfilling their aspirations before the election itself as they do not believe they will see their MLAs after election.
They do not believe in issues or think of the future. They only think of getting some quick cash or material benefit. This is most unfortunate for Nagaland, he said.
It will also be foolish to vote for the Hindutva mission. Your prayer is to stop and protect persecution of Christians and therefore, your vote should not be cast for the persecutors of Christians and other minorities, he said.
