This statement of Congress MP Jairam Ramesh 27 has come before the Nagaland assembly elections 2023 to be held in February. He asked CM Neiphiu Rio and his party high command in Delhi about the reasons for not finding a political solution to the long-standing issue in Nagaland. He said in a press conference organized in Dimapur, whatever solution they have in mind, the majority that the Nagaland government had in the last 5 years and the majority that the BJP had in the Lok Sabha-Rajya Sabha, would have already been done. The decades-old issue Jairam Ramesh referred to includes separate flag for Nagaland and key demands of the constitution.
