NDPP would never compromise with faith, identity of Nagas: Rio

Kohima: NDPP would never compromise with the faith and identity of the Nagas, Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio said on Monday.
Addressing the coordination meeting of the People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA), Rio said NDPP's Chumben Murry is the “right candidate” for the state.
He said the Congress does not have any MLA in the state, but is still fighting for the lone Lok Sabha seat harping on the “anti-minority and anti-Christian atrocities” of the BJP, of which “some may be true but some are propaganda”.
He said the NDPP will always stand for the rights of the minorities and welfare of Christians.
“Nagaland is a resource crunch state and has to depend on the Centre,” he said, noting that there are also other problems, including the unresolved Naga political issue.
Stating that “there might be some wrongdoers”, Rio said the welfare policies of the Centre are appreciable.
He said PM Narendra Modi is a visionary leader and has always considered equal development for all. pti
