Ex-Nagaland chief minister KL Chishi quits BJP

Insincerity and the lack of urgency have greatly harmed the aspirations of the people". Talking about Citizenship Bill, he said the "brazen attempt to ram through Parliament" despite massive protests in the Northeast had only exposed a particular narrative-driven agenda that is dangerous to the demography of the entire region. "The flip-flop stand of PDA government in Nagaland on Citizenship Bill has only made matters worse. Moreover, the proposal for extension of ILP under BEFR, 1873 to cover the district of Dimapur lacks a certain political will. The hallowed slogan of the BJP about development has crumbled while youths are facing major job crisis leading to proliferation of anti-social activities," he observed. "In view of these unaddressed issues that have put the state and its people under grave threat and BJP Nagaland playing second fiddle to nascent party NDPP (ruling Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party), prolonging my association with the BJP has become untenable. I, therefore, submit my resignation from the membership of the BJP with immediate effect," he wrote. Dailyhunthttps://steepster.com/jprsworld
