He urged the BJP-led central government to be ‘faithful’ to its election slogan “election for solution” given before the 2018 Nagaland assembly elections.
The NPF leader from Nagaland added that the BJP should live up to to its commitment.
However, Nienu said the Centre should bring out the common draft and place it before public domain for consensus among the public before signing the final pact.
