Addressing a press conference here, NCP national general secretary Narendra B Verma said the issue was thoroughly discussed in the first meeting of the legislature party.

The Sharad Pawar-led NCP, which won seven seats in the Nagaland Assembly, on Saturday said it will soon decide whether it will join the NDPP-BJP government in the state or remain in the opposition.

Addressing a press conference here, NCP national general secretary Narendra B Verma said the issue was thoroughly discussed in the first meeting of the legislature party.

“I have collected the views of the MLAs, and also the opinion of state party leaders. The final decision on whether to join the government or remain in the opposition and the leader of the legislature party will be taken by the high command in Delhi in the next few days, when I will come back on Sunday and apprise National President Sharad Pawar. Verma said.

The NCP had fielded candidates for 12 seats in the 60-member assembly for the elections held on February 27.

Verma said that the seven MLAs of the party would work for the welfare of the downtrodden people of the state.

He said that the NCP would also support the demand of the Nagas for an early resolution of the peace talks.
