Speaking during an induction ceremony for new members at his residence on Feb. 19, the bureaucrat-turned-politician was stated to have explained that the political situation in Nagaland had ‘became precarious due to several reasons and policies of the government while acting deaf, dumb and blind to the needs of the people.’
