Message for BJP in berth for NPF in Nagaland Cabinet

An MLA of the Naga People’s Front (NPF), whose members used to sit in the Opposition until August 2021, was sworn in on Wednesday as a Cabinet Minister in the Nagaland coalition government headed by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio.

Y.M. Yollow Konyak was accommodated to fill a berth vacated by C.M. Chang of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), who died in October 2020.

He was sworn in by Nagaland Governor Jagdish Mukhi at the Raj Bhavan in State capital Kohima in the presence of Mr. Rio, his predecessor and newly-appointed chairman of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), T.R. Zeliang, the Ministers and other legislators.
