NPF president says opposition-less government is in the spirit of regionalism
There are no rivals in the Nagaland Assembly. There seem to be no friends either. On August 16, the People’s Democratic Alliance government metamorphosed into the Nagaland United Government, or NUG. This followed the induction of the opposition Naga People’s Front (NPF) into the government headed by the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP). Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said the political parties set their differences aside to join hands and work collectively towards achieving a peaceful and amicable solution to the protracted Naga political issue. The issue pertains to the peace process with several Naga extremists groups since 1997.
