Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio Friday expressed hope that the Narendra Modi government which won a second term would find a solution to the decades old Naga political issue.
Speaking at a programme here Rio dwelled on Naga Political issue saying it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had signed the Frame Work Agreement on August 3, 2015 and people felt that settlement could come soon.
But he lamented that due to some deadlock it got delayed, without elaborating.
He expressed hope that Modi will take decision as this time the BJP-led NDA has overwhelming majority.
On Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), Rio reiterated that it cannot be implemented in Nagaland as Nagas are protected under the Article 371(A).
Article 371A in The Constitution Of India has a special provision with respect to the State of Nagaland
Rio said the NDPP as small partner in the NDA government is committed to work for minority and "we need to have alliance with them and work cohesively for the welfare of the minority community."
Rio also maintained that NDPP is a regional party but is having alliance with BJP and "our alliance will continue unless something very bad."
