Kohima: The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) threw its weight behind the Nagaland Legislative Assembly after it passed the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA) Bill. National Secretary S Richard Humtsoe confirmed the party remains committed to the goals established by the Tripartite Agreement. The move aims to boost development and empowerment across Eastern Nagaland.
Humtsoe called the Assembly action a significant and welcome development. He noted the party wholeheartedly welcomes and supports this important legislative step. The agreement intends to address deep-seated infrastructural and socio-economic hurdles that have plagued the region for years. Leaders expect the process to promote peace, partnership, and inclusion.
The party urged stakeholders to push the project forward with mutual trust and clear focus. They want the government to ensure the work happens in a transparent, effective, and time-bound manner. This Bill represents more than a routine vote. It serves as a chance to build a balanced, inclusive state with better institutional support for the people of Eastern Nagaland.

The party emphasized that development must hit every pocket of society, especially those areas hit hard by geography and a lack of basic services. They insist that the push for this bill is about building a stronger and more balanced state for everyone.
Humtsoe urged all parties to keep the peace and stay at the table. He stated, "The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) stands firmly for social justice, inclusive development, equitable opportunities and empowerment of the people."
