New Naga political group GNNC-DSRN announces its formation

DIMAPUR — A newly formed Naga political group — Government of Naga National Council – Democratic Socialist Republic of Nagaland (GNNC-DSRN) — has made its debut public announcement.

In a press release to the media on Sunday, the new political group stated that, in the interest of the Nagas, it was felt necessary to establish an anti-corruption government—one that truly stands for the people and works for the people.

“The aim of this government is to provide equal opportunity to every Naga citizen without bias, favouritism, or partiality. Over the years, different governments and organisations have come forward in the name of ‘national cause,’ but most have been driven by selfish motives and corruption. None has truly stood for the welfare of the Naga people,” it stated.

The GNNC-DSRN envisions a government where public money is utilised transparently and responsibly; development works meet proper standards and benefit the people directly; unemployed educated youth are empowered and given platforms for meaningful participation; and every citizen, regardless of tribe or background, is treated equally.

“This is a call especially to the young and educated unemployed Nagas. The future of our land depends on you. If we do not take a stand today, Nagaland will continue to suffer under corruption, favouritism, and exploitation.

“God has given us this opportunity and this mission—to rise up and build a Nagaland free of corruption, injustice, and inequality. With your wisdom and knowledge we can shape Nagaland into a better place strictly as proclaimed. Nagaland for Christ,” it stated.

“The logo of our government—a star and a cross—represents the divine blessing given to the Nagas. It symbolises hope, faith, and God's guidance in our struggle for a just and fair society.”

As per the release, the GNNC-DSRN is headed by John Chakhesang (president), Kikheto Sumi (vice president), Kelhoukuolie Angami (general secretary), and Y Lotha (finance kilonser).
