The Hill State People’s Party (HSPDP) is not averse to forming an alliance with the Voice of the People Party (VPP) in the interest of the indigenous people.
HSPDP president KP Pangniang today said that the Regional Democratic Alliance (RDA) would welcome VPP and even other regional parties.
“We fight elections separately but the objective is to serve the state and the indigenous community,” he said.
Pangniang said though his party has never had a formal meeting with the VPP, the Regional Democratic Alliance (RDA) had always wanted to further strengthen the regional party bloc.
Recently, UDP president Metbah Lyngdoh has reiterated its call for all regional forces, including the VPP, to unite under one banner to protect the interests of the indigenous people.
Lyngdoh stressed that the current situation demands unity among regional parties to effectively serve the interests of the indigenous population.
