Kohima: Close on the heels of outgoing chief minister Neiphiu Rio's comment that his party might go to court for judicial review of President's rule in Nagaland, BJP today said it would move the Supreme Court against the UPA government's decision.

Senior BJP leader and former Health and Family Welfare minister of the state T M Lotha said the party leaders were discussing the matter with their national leaders.

Extending support to the proposed 12-hour highway bandh called by youth wing of Nagaland Peoples Front (NPF) tomorrow, Lotha said his party would also join the on-going poster campaigns decrying President's rule in the state.

NPF had already launched poster campaigns in the state capital flaying the party defectors and the Congress for the central rule in Nagaland terming it as "New Year gift".

The Front said the central rule would jeopardize the on-going Naga peace process. Refuting the allegation, the Congress said the ceasefire and peace process involved the Union government and Naga underground groups and they had not cast any apprehension on the fate of the peace talks.

The Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) government, formed by NPF, BJP, JD(U) and independents, was dismissed on January 3 following the imposition of President's rule.
