The Naga political chessboard is in play. The Govt of India may now ultimately realise that delay in implementing the spirit of Framework Agreement and the Agreed Position was ill advised.
What made the Union Home Ministry adopt an unprecedented 'carrot and only carrot policy' is a googly - to use a cricket terminnology.
The BJP has its alliance government in Nagaland since 2018 yet no pressure - either military or strategic was mounted on the saboteurs of a Solution pact and the so called Status quo club.
Today, Nagas are confused and angry. Elderly politicians those who matter may push Dynastic polity - certainly an import from mainstream India. Blaming Congress alone is just not enough.
YOU also encouraged an ex Congressman. The BJP and regional party enjoying power did not do much to expedite peace talks.
Funds came ... funds flew ... The Eastern Nagaland lost faith in Kohima. The FNTA is now a reality. Funds may flow yet again.
Observers are waiting --- whether real development will come in Mon, Tuensang and other districts or real estate business will continue to bloom in Dimapur region.
The confusion has made a section of youths angry --- they are calling themselves Fed Up Nagas. This is a warning bell for New Delhi.
The narratives about Double Engine governments might have given out new definitions already. New Delhi should stop believing its own narratives.
There are things beyond narratives.
Today, Nagaland is at its best in the grip of a new kind of militancy challenge -- it may be called CORPORATE INSURGENCY.
The bitter truth is Nagas will find it easy and safe to blame Govt of India for delay. Going by the same logic the mandarins in national capital will blame Nagas or a section of Nagas that paradoxically includes NSCN-IM, the Rio govt. and hence BJP, NPP, NPF, NDPP, LJP, NCP.
Sadly Congess too cannot wash off its hands. Firstly, during Bharat Yatra, Rahul did not attack NDPP-BJP Govt and later Congress MP Mr Supongmeren focused more on airport for Rio than Solution to Naga issue.
If Fed Up Nagas are talking about Syndicates-- who really is surprised ?
Things are still not out of hands. Social activist Theja Therieh says his worst fear is Manipur like situation should not be repeated.
The Govt of India may be reminded that when things go wrong in northeastern states, some protagonists find it easy to blame New Delhi.
There's still a scope for the Modi Govt to win beyond its traditional bastions, but success is linked to strategy.
Young voters are expected to play a decisive role certainly.
The church is always an influential body. In the past too, NBCC and other church organisations played a key role in peace process.
In Kohima town, one input suggests there are 18 to 20 churches. The Outreach exercise should therefore begin.
Ends
