Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated TR Zeliang who was sworn-in as the Nagaland Chief Minister after the resignation of Neiphio Rio, who has been elected to the lok Sabha.
“Congratulations to TR Zeliang on taking oath as Nagaland CM. My best wishes and support in Nagaland’s development journey,” he tweeted. Zeliang’s party Naga People’s Front is a member of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
The NDF-led ruling Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN-III) Government was formed in March 2013. Rio demitted office on Friday after being the Chief Minister for over 11 years following his victory in the lok Sabha polls.
