The party in power in Delhi gets a significant <strong>say (The chance to speak) <\/strong>in the State\u2019s politics. In the NDPP-BJP 40-20 seat understanding, their coalition won 37. The rest was shared by several parties, such as Nationalist Congress Party, which stands third with seven seats. Politics in Nagaland is such that nobody wants to be in the Opposition and all MLAs have now extended support to the NDPP-BJP government. Far from being a sign of healthy political unity, the complete absence of an Opposition in the Assembly has pushed the State to a new low in terms of a lack of legislative accountability. The <strong>purported (Have the often specious appearance of being, intending, or claiming) <\/strong>reason for this <strong>scandalous (very shocking or wrong) <\/strong>unity that started in the previous Assembly is to jointly work towards resolving the \u201cIndo-Naga political issue\u201d that pertains to a settlement with separatist organisations. But in practice, this has now become a scramble for a share in the power pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neiphiu Rio, who remains in the <strong>saddle (seat) <\/strong>as Chief Minister, enjoys the trust of the BJP, which has got five berths in the Council of Ministers. Mr. Rio\u2019s <strong>defection (Withdrawing support) <\/strong>from the Congress sent that party in a <strong>downward spiral (If an amount or level spirals downwards, it falls quickly and at an increasing rate)<\/strong>, even as he became the Chief Minister in 2003 after joining the NPF. There are two firsts in the State Assembly as well \u2014 two women Members, one of whom is also the first woman Minister in the State, which is remarkable considering Nagaland\u2019s <strong>patriarchal (Characteristic of a form of social organization in which the male is the family head and title is traced through the male line) <\/strong>character. Former Chief Minister T.R. Zeliang, who moved to the NDPP from the NPF in 2022, is a Deputy Chief Minister. The representation of the regions of Nagaland and the major Naga communities is more balanced this time. The State faces serious development challenges and its governance deficiency is severe, which have been attributed to years of extremism and associated <strong>extortion (the act of extorting, or getting money, etc. by threats, misuse of authority, etc.) <\/strong>\u2014 something that is only partly valid. What is closer to the truth is the assumption that political parties too have developed a stake in the <strong>stalemate (A situation in which no progress can be made or no advancement is possible)<\/strong>. A demand for statehood for six districts in eastern Nagaland has added a new fault line. The NDPP-BJP alliance won nine of the 20 seats in this region. In an Assembly without an Opposition, the accountability of the government could be <strong>elusive (difficult to catch)<\/strong>. Effectively, politicians have betrayed the trust of the people in Nagaland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to update your vocabulary on an ongoing basis?
