With regard to the ENPO issue, Rio asserted that the state government have and is still appealing to ENPO, “even today we have appealed in our campaign. So, I hope they will take it seriously,” he added.

Meanwhile, PDA candidate Dr Chumben Murry sharing his views on the ENPO’s resolute stand said that ENPO is not right in not participating in the election since election is for the benefit of the people.

“My appeal to them is that there is still time let them decide to come and participate,” said Murry.
