The NPF (Naga People’s Front) leadership has urged Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio to campaign for the party in the Assembly elections in Manipur. Talking to Northeast Live, NPF leader TR Zeliang said that since both his party and the Rio-led NDPP are running an opposition-less government in Nagaland, there are no issues if the Nagaland Chief Minister campaigns for the NPF candidates in Manipur.
