Kohima,  Jan 18: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for doing nothing to resolve the vexed Naga political issue.

Gandhi accused PM Modi that, after signing the Framework Agreement with Naga groups in 2015, it had not yet been fruitful.

While addressing a rally on the fourth day of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Nagaland’s Mokokchung town, Gandhi said a solution to the problem cannot be brought without winning the trust of the Naga people and without holding a dialogue with them.

“If you don’t have a solution, you cannot lie and claim that you have a solution. The Prime Minister gave an empty commitment about the Naga accord nine years ago and did nothing yet,” Gandhi asserted.

‘While driving through the roads, I can see your (Naga people’s) way of life, history, traditions, and culture. Though Naga people understand English, my speech was translated into Naga language as I respect the language and the people’s culture,” he said, adding that the Naga people’s traditions were their own and no party should interfere in them.

Referring to the bad roads in Nagaland, he claimed that it was a betrayal of the people of the state. “Naga children are getting deprived of electricity, healthcare, and other facilities. Why can’t a Naga man be an industrialist? Naga people’s rich traditions and culture are assets of India,” he said.
