Friday, October 26, 2007, 13:06 [IST]

Kohima, Oct 26 (UNI) Nagaland Peoples' Front (NPF) president Shurhozelie today said there was no threat to the DAN government following the withdrawal of support by seven legistaors.

Talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of a function for the protection of wildlife in Nagaland, Mr Shurhozelie claimed that the NPF, leading coalition partner of the ruling DAN, has gained popularity for the development done by the NPF-led DAN government.

''We will fight all the sixty seats of the Assembly in the forthcoming elections,'' he added.

He said the number of NPF candidates were much more than that of the Congress, but the decision to select the candidates by the Election Committee of the party was still awaited.
