Modi's words don't mean anything: Rahul on Naga peace accord

February 04, 2018 12:03

Congress president Rahul Gandhi today targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the 2015 Naga Peace Accord.

Taking a swipe at the PM, Rahul tweeted, August 2015, Mr Modi claims to create history by signing the NAGA accord. Feb 2018, Naga Accord is still nowhere to be found. Modi ji is the first ever Indian PM whose words don't mean anything. #CantFindTheAccord."

The Nagaland Peace Accord was signed in August 2015 by Modi and National Socialist Council of Nagaland to end the insurgency in the region.

Rahul's reaction came a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party decided to forge an alliance with newly floated Nationalist Democratic Peoples Party led by former chief minister Neiphiu Rio for the February 27 assembly polls in Nagaland.

Eleven parties including the ruling Naga Peoples Front on January 29 had decided not to contest the February 27 polls, agreeing to the demand of tribal bodies and civil society groups to resolve the protracted Naga political problem first.

Later, the BJP had announced it would contest the polls.
