On Recent Political Developments in Nagaland

The NDPP has no relevance in Nagaland politics except that it is in power presently. It was born out of political necessity to reinstall the then Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland Mr. Rio back in to the state politics. If one can remember correctly Mr. Rio left the state in 2014 shortly a year after winning his consecutive third term as CM of Nagaland to make his debut in the national politics. Unlike the 2019 Lok Sabha election in Nagaland which was a very tight contest between the ruling government and the opposition Congress, Mr. Rio back then won with a comfortable margin of over 4 lakh votes. He was sent off with much grandiosity. Much hype was generated and the talk was in the air that Mr. Rio would be given Cabinet berth in the Modi 1.0 government. Rio could boast of his credentials as the lone seasoned politician from NER and also the Convenor of NERPF(Northeast Regional Political Forum). His speech in the Central Hall of Parliament on May 20, 2014 added a bonus point to it. 

According to reports, the decision to foray in to national politics was due to the close understanding and the rapport Mr. Rio had with Mr. Modi when both were Chief Ministers of their respective states. However, much to the dismay of the Naga people and Rio himself nothing came to fruition. The hope of becoming the first Naga MP to become a Union minister after Dr. SC Jamir who was minister of state in the then Nehru government remained elusive. There were also speculations that he would be inducted in the second reshuffle but it remained to be only a distant dream. 

Now, coming back to the present poltical developments in the state. Anybody with a keen understanding of Nagaland politics will find it surprising as to why the NDPP allowed its arch-rival NPF to join the PDA govt without even first consulting its pre-poll alliance partner BJP.  It leaves one wondering if this is Mr. Rio's way of payback! 

Returning the message that the shots will be called only by him in his turf!

The 'Nagaland United Government' is nothing but a hollow globe(NDPP's symbol). It has nothing to offer to the Naga public. It is only a matter of time before it implodes from within. The Naga National poltical issue will then be brought again to the limelight for another sacrifice.

DIVIDER IN CHIEF AT IT AGAIN!

T he cover page of the Time’s magazine with the portrait of Modi donned in a black Nehru coat with a saffron scarf was published on May 9, 2019. The article carried a compelling title which read as ‘INDIA’S DIVIDER IN CHIEF’. Shortly after it was published, it evoked widespread criticisms from the ruling party especially on Twitter with bots and fake handles of the ruling party making a scathing attack on the author as well as the magazine. But it managed to strike a chord with the many who have had enough with the supreme leader who absolutely had no remorse for the 2002 Godhra carnage and the incidents thereafter. The BJP, a far right extremist party rose to power in 2014 riding on the waves of Modi and again in 2019 banking on pseudo-nationalism after the Balakot airstrike was conducted discreetly. Mr. Modi, the man solely responsible for the pogrom while he was still the Chief Minister of Gujarat was denied visa by the United States barring him from entering the country in 2005 ...

The Poltroons of Naga Society

There are countless of them. Their physical features resembles that of a human but their traits are nowhere near to that of a civilised being. They are worst than the leeches. For a leech stop sucking the blood of its prey once it is satiated. But these people will not stop till life is sucked out of its prey. They do not have an opinion of their own. The only job of these jabronis is to defend the actions of their masters. They do so because their survival depends on the crumbs thrown at them by their masters. They are active mostly on Facebook and WhatsApp. They will lambaste anyone who tries to raise voice against the establishment. 'Positive criticism' is what they pretend to advocate but in reality they detest all sorts of criticism. Their polemic writings are a testament to that. They cannot withstand the bitter truth for it is hard to swallow. 'You've sold your vote during the election, you have no right to raise your voice now' so 'SUFFER'. This i...

The Impending Catastrophe

“ W e have a heart but we also have a brain” -   Zoran Milanovic, Croatian Prime Minister. The ongoing Migrant crisis in the European Union has triggered a worldwide attention and has also drawn flak from among the member states over the policies adopted by the Union with policy makers trying to make a constant change to contain the influx of migrants with time. The discovery of the dead body of a 5-year-old Syrian boy washed ashore sent a shock wave to everyone including the international community. This was the talk of the virtual world for quite some time pouring in sympathies from all over the world. The influx of migrants flocking to the European Union seems to be never ending and till date, tens of thousands of migrants are flocking to the European Union with little or no hope at all for survival. While taking a look at the migrant crisis from the humanitarian perspective, the migrants have literally no option but to flock elsewhere for survival. The entire M...
