New Nagaland PCC chief to change party working style

DIMAPUR: With the Congress out of power in Nagaland for the last two decades and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections around the corner, new Nagaland Pradesh Congress (NPCC) president S Supongmeren Jamir has worked out various strategies to change the working system and clean up the party in the state.

Sharing his plans with party workers to revamp the party at the PCC district tour programme at Congress Bhawan here on Friday evening, Jamir said from now on, respective constituency party members will select their constituency leaders and also candidates to contest elections.

Reasoning out the dismal show of the Congress in the past many elections, Jamir felt that the party could not return any member to the current assembly, as it failed to work at the grassroots level and could not select suitable candidates. He, however, said the party workers had been strong enough to struggle to work for the people of the state despite being out of power for so many years.

Urging the party workers to gear up for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Jamir called for strengthening the party at the booth and constituency levels by working at the grassroots and for the grassroots people. "Your ability will be proved in the 2024 elections," he told them.
