Solution to Naga political issue long overdue, Cong is hope for development: Tharoor

Kohima :  Senior Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said the solution to the Naga political issue was long overdue and the grand old party wanted to see it resolved.

Addressing an election rally at Congress Bhavan here, he said Nagaland lacks basis amenities such as water, electricity, health and road infrastructure even 60 years after attaining statehood and that his party is the hope for development and progress of the northeastern state.

“Nagas deserve better than this kind of deception, corruption, dishonesty and inefficiency,” he said, adding that some Nagas have prospered in the last decade while the masses have been left behind.
