Speaking to media, Chief Minister Rio said he is in the National Capital to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for campaigning in Nagaland as well as for attending the Swearing in ceremony of the new government. 

Rio also expressed hope that the Naga Political issue will find a solution in this tenure.

Responding to Nagaland’s moving towards an opposition-less government, CM Rio said that Nagaland is a troubled state with many issues that need to be solved like the Naga issue and the ENPO. He welcomed an opposition-less government in the state. 

“Nagaland is a troubled state with Naga and ENPO issues to be resolved. Then we have delimitation pending. So it will be good if we can have an opposition-less government. We welcome that” CM Rio said. 

While responding to the center pending the Naga issue for a long time, CM Rio said, “Earlier they could not come together, but on January 14, 2023 they had signed and gave a joint statement that on the basis of the political and historical right they will collectively resolve. So we are hopeful that solution will come.”
