Kohima, October 16: The People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) — a coalition led by the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) — has expressed its gratitude to the Central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi for its consistent support and commitment towards the overall development of Nagaland.
The PDA’s appreciation came during a meeting held in Kohima on Wednesday, chaired by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio. The members unanimously adopted a resolution reaffirming the alliance’s collective stand on key political matters, including the ongoing Indo-Naga peace process.
“The House called upon the Government of India and the negotiating parties in the Indo-Naga peace process to undertake sincere measures to carry forward the ongoing dialogue to its logical conclusion,” the resolution stated. It further urged that any settlement must be “honourable, inclusive, and acceptable to the people.”
The alliance also officially welcomed the Naga People’s Front (NPF) as a full-fledged partner of the PDA, following its formal inclusion. The House extended appreciation to the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its “guidance, support, and positive decision” in endorsing the NPF’s entry into the alliance.
The PDA reiterated its commitment to collective governance and unity, emphasising that it would continue to work in partnership with the Centre to achieve peace, progress, and inclusive growth in Nagaland.
