Any political party deserving one of those Padma awards for inaction in Nagaland politics is the BJP.
"Biggest dormant" party in the state is the Saffron outfit.

| What's there in Journalism ? What's there inside the box? : Bolero Ride "acchey din" |
Naga People within the state of Nagaland have to decide ... or else 'extortion' by over 30 factions will continue at least easily till 2028.
The Nagas of Nagaland will have to be 'masters' of their political journey vis-a-vis lasting peace and development for their children.
Onus shifts on organisations like the Concerned Naga Forum of Nagaland (CNFN). They will have much tougher challenge.
The so-called BJP central observers and in-charges can seek a pension scheme. There are clerks with papers ready from Dimapur airport to the state capital. It's done and dusted case.
The Lotus party is not at all keen to disturb the so called Cock-led equilibrium.
Five NPP MLAs have now embraced the Cock-hood by announcing the merger. This blogger made the breaking news announcement on Sept 30.
At least two sitting NPP MLAs denied to their "friends" that anything such development is on card.
This merger is 'NPF coup'.
The beleaguered chief minister and NPF boss Rio wants to tell the voters and others -- "Look, I am so successful. My politics is so successful. So what if there is FNTA ? Cock rules Kohima. 'Globe' ..what's that?
My party is so popular. My Manishankar Aiyars are so genius.
Enjoy the ride .... Solution .... I have never met anybody by that name". The NPP MLAs wanted a merger with NPF in 2025 presuming "being in the camp" would make 2028 sail easy.
The BJP got the early alert. Still it did not act. Actually, it is worse.
The request for merger in 2025 was turned down on the 'reported' ground that Neiphiu Rio does not want to displease Conrad Sangma (Late 'friend' P A Sangma's son.
But things have changed after Sept 10, 2026. Now for platitudes and 'signaling' that he still commands things -- Rio has taken in these five MLAs.
The bigger fun is in the story that the NPP legislators were in discussion with the BJP for 'merger'. The saffron party stood with "inaction", preferred being part of the larger Status Quo club. Rio grabbed the opportunity and hence the merger.
Nyamnyei Konyak - from Moka Assembly constituency - played the pro-NPF anchor. Some 'relatives' were on play.
Kohima legislator - Tseilhoutuo Rhütso (popular as Dr Ato) wanted NPF 'cap' for 2028. Tenyimia voters are still alergic to pro-Hinduta BJP.
Seyochung–Sitimi - MLA -- C. Kipili Sangtam and Benei M. Lamthiu - who represents 57 assembly segment - Thonoknyu were agreeable to NPF idea.

Nuklutoshi – representing Arkakong (Assembly Constituency) in Mokokchung district was not very keen to dump Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma.
"But a gentleman like him has no option... to be singled out in an era when Bolero power is more than anything else made him accept the hospitality of the Cock party," says a political observer on the condition of anonymity.
In the meantime, those who want an early Solution may opt for a long holiday. Even veteran S C Jamir may be advised to 'give up the struggle' at such a ripe age.
"Please take care of your health sir ... You have given life more than it deserves. Maybe we mortals do not deserve the Solution. We deserve free run for extortionists.
What would my party or Nagaland polity deserve after this inaction is left to their wisdom and emotional sense," said a BJP leader visibly upset at the developments.
For many Naga politicians - of the era I know - the likes of Hokishe Sema, Vizol, Shikiho, J B Jasokie and even T N Angami (I knew his son N T Nakhro and daughter in law - AIR, Kohima officer) and of course S C Jamir himself ---- politics was ....
never been about power alone.
Of course, they were no saints, They did love power .... We in the media grilled them and criticised them.
But each one of them had certain good ideas for the people and the land.
They all wanted to contribute something for the people and the state.
Life, politics and the maneuvering were also a lot about - conviction, commitment and courage.

The temporary winners may be laughing. Dr Manmohan Singh was India's PM for 10 years. How many people believe he 'achieved' something during his tenure is always questionable. People remember Lal Bahadur Shastri. Legacy is important.
My 'favourite chief minister' does not understand this. He has perhaps stopped getting "angry with himself". -- As was the case with I K Gujral, according to Late former PM Chandrashekhar.
The ground reality does not change much. People - who hold the master key in democracy - know what is going around.
Rio having sensed the 'change in public mood' especially after Jamir-Mohan Bhagwat meet and secretary general's remarks against S C Jamir; is looking for a headline-changing game.
This merger is nothing more than that.
Bad luck Mr Conrad; - do not blame all Naga politicians.
Be aware who are your well wishers and your dad's friends.
