Dimapur, February 18 (MTNews): Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the state government in Nagaland over a ‘list of broken promises’. He recalled PM Modi’s slogan ‘Election for Solution’ during the 2018 Nagaland state elections and said that there has been ‘no solution’ to the protracted political issue of the state.
“The PM’s slogan for the 2018 Nagaland polls was ‘Election for Solution’. Five years later, with no solution along with a long list of broken promises and tall claims, the only thing the PM can offer for 2023 polls is the slogan ‘Election for Confusion,” the Congress MP wrote.
At a press conference held in Dimapur, he asked chief minister Neiphiu Rio and his ‘masters in Delhi’ about the reasons to not find a political solution to the longstanding issue of the state.
“In the last five years, with the type of majority the state government had, the BJP had in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, whatever solution they had in mind would already have been done,” he added.
He said Naga political solution has to be holistic and based on maintaining the dignity, pride and diversity of Naga society. He said the view of the people is that a peace accord has to be based on consensus which has to be acceptable to the larger groups.
