Rising People’s Party has extended its support to S Supongmeren Jamir for the ensuing Lok Sabha elections to be conducted on 19th April 2024. RPP appealed to the people of Nagaland, its party workers and sympathizers of the party “to rise above partisan politics”, “to elect a good leader to represent the Nagas” and vote for Jamir.

The Party said that it has resolved to back the Congress’s candidate “since the Congress is a Pan-India party and along with her allies are fighting for the “Soul of India”, which is, inclusivity and diversity.”

Though regional in outlook, the RPP shares the same ideology and principles with the Congress when it comes to inclusivity and decency in politics, it added. The Party also stated that it believes that the Congress is best placed to lead this battle of ideologies for the “Idea of India” “at a time such as this when insanity and hopelessness prevails.”

Further, Rising People’s Party said that the Lok Sabha election 2024 should set the tone that “Naga voters are progressive – mindful of the fact that people and poor centric ideology and good leaders matter for the well-being of the state or country”. It therefore called for people to vote against the PDA government “which has failed on every developmental parameter and created a “Failed state” such as ours.”
