Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Wednesday said that with the 14 January 2023 agreement between NSCN-IM and NNPGs, where they declared their unconditional commitment to collaborate for the resolution of the Naga political issue with the Government of India, the Naga political solution is inevitable.
The chief minister was speaking at the campaign rally for NDPP candidate Sharingain Longkumer from 26 Aonglenden Assembly Constituency at Soyim Aonglenden in Mokokchung district.

Rio stated that the agreement made between National Socialist Council of Nagalim-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM) and Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) has made the attainment of final solution hopeful. The Naga political issue is almost seventy years old.
The Star Campaigner lamented on the delayed solution and stated that if settlement had arrived sooner the seats in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly could have been increased from 60 to 80 and Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha seats could be increased to 2 seats each.
