Congress president Rahul Gandhi Wednesday gave his commitment to help resolve the decades-long Naga political problem if the party forms government at the Centre after the election.

It is a complex issue involving multiple stakeholders and talks would be held with all of them to find out a solution, Gandhi said addressing a poll meeting here.

"I will not give empty promises but will try to resolve the Naga political issue by working with all the stakeholders," he said.

Gandhi said the Congress believes that every single state in India has its own culture, history and belief but the BJP-led NDA government is trying to impose a single idea on the people of the country.

He asked, "Who do they think they are to dictate terms on how to live to the people of the North East?
