The Nagaland Cabinet and legislators of the eastern region of the State appealed to the ENPO to take part in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.
The Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation (ENPO) has stuck to its decision not to participate in the Lok Sabha polls until its demand for a separate state carved out of Nagaland is fulfilled by the Centre.
The ENPO, the apex body of seven Naga tribes of the region, has been demanding a separate State since 2010, claiming that six districts in the eastern part of Nagaland have been neglected for years.
