13th June 2024– MLA Dr. Sukhato A Sema, Leader of the LJP Legislative Party in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, recently called on Chirag Paswan, the National President of LJP-Ram Vilas, to congratulate him on his appointment as the Union Cabinet Minister of Food Processing Industries in the newly formed Modi-led NDA Government.
During the meeting, Dr. Sukhato expressed his best wishes to Minister Paswan and discussed the potential benefits his ministry could bring to Nagaland, particularly in terms of youth employment. Chirag Paswan assured his full cooperation and support to enhance job opportunities in the state through various initiatives under his ministry.
Dr. Sukhato, who is also a Member of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), requested Mr. Paswan to address the Naga political issue in Parliament, emphasizing the need for an early settlement of the peace process, a cause that his late father, Ram Vilas Paswan, was also concerned about.
