"I have directed Konyak to vote against the motion," NPF President Surzezie said.
Asked about the reasons for the decision, Surzezie said the NPF had been supporting the UPA government since the beginning and even voted in favour of its Presidential candidate.
"But instead of reciprocating our gesture, the UPA had dismissed our government in Nagaland just before the assembly elections in March and imposed President's rule. Now it is our turn to reciprocate the UPA's action," he said.
When asked whom he would vote for during the trust vote, Konyak refused to give a direct reply but said "I can confidently say that the government will win the trust vote".
