The Bharatiya Janata Party has called on Nagaland to transcend its focus on statehood issues, urging a broader developmental agenda.
The BJP has publicly urged Nagaland to move beyond its long-standing preoccupation with statehood concerns.
The party highlighted that the term "statehood syndrome" refers to the persistent focus on autonomy and identity politics that has, according to the BJP, hindered progress in the northeastern state.
Instead, the BJP called for a shift toward development priorities such as infrastructure, education and employment, suggesting that a broader agenda would better serve the people of Nagaland.
The statement was made by a senior BJP leader during a press conference in the state, though no specific policy proposals were outlined at this stage.
