DIMAPUR — Kidongam Panmei, former executive member of the ex-service cell and former general secretary of the Scheduled Tribes (ST) Morcha of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Nagaland unit, and James Kuotsu, Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) leader, formally joined Congress on Thursday in the presence of Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president S Supongmeren Jamir.
According to a press release, both leaders stated that they had voluntarily decided to join the Congress party in order to strengthen Rahul Gandhi’s pan-India movement for safeguarding the secular and democratic principles in the nation, which are presently under great threat.
“The NPCC warmly welcomes the new entrants into the party fold and wishes them well as they embark upon a new chapter in their political journey under the progressive and secular ideals of the Indian National Congress,” read the statement.
