The NPF on Friday demanded that Nagaland CEO Abhijit Sinha immediately take stringent action against deputy chief minister Y. Patton for allegedly violating the election model code of conduct as well as breaching the clean election slogan during the polling for the Lok Sabha election on Thursday.
The Naga People’s Front (NPF) said it is necessary to take action against Patton, who also holds the home portfolio, so that Nagaland can be saved from all anti-social elements, particularly during the electioneering process.
The NPF also asked the chief electoral officer (CEO) to immediately take action against the erring government officials, who were deputed as presiding officers and polling officers, for encouraging and allowing such malpractices.
