Kidongam Panmei, former executive member of the Ex-Service Cell and former general secretary of the ST Morcha of the BJP state unit, and James Kuotsu, NDPP leader, formally joined the Congress Party on Wednesday in the presence of Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee President, S Supongmeren Jamir.

In a press release, NPCC informed that both the leaders had voluntarily decided to join the Congress Party “to strengthen our Leader Rahul Gandhi’s Pan India Movement for safeguarding the Secular and Democratic Principles in the Nation, which is at present under great threat from the PM Modi led BJP government.”

NPCC extended warm welcome to the new entrants into its Party and wished them well as they embark upon a new chapter in their political journey under the Progressive and Secular Ideals of the Indian National Congress.
