?Nagaland Chief Minister T R Zeliang met home minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi and said he was determined to conduct polls

In a setback for the Nagaland government, Governor P B Acharya on Thursday declared null and void the entire process of elections to urban local bodies (ULBs). Nagaland Chief Minister T R Zeliang met home minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on Thursday evening and informed him about the situation in the state. The governor's decision comes amid an indefinite shutdown in the state called by for the resignation of chief minister TR Zeliang for deciding to conduct elections with 33 per cent reservation for women. Zeliang flew to Delhi following a request by the home ministry to meet Rajnath Singh, officials from the chief minister's office (CMO) told PTI. Zeliang explained to the home minister how the state government was determined to fulfill its constitutional obligation of holding ULB polls with 33 per cent reservation for women. He informed Singh about the hardships being faced by the people due to the shutdown called by tribal organisations that are demanding he step down owning moral responsibility of the death of three persons in poll-related violence. Elections to urban local bodies in 12 towns across the state were conducted on February 1 amidst a shut-down called by tribal bodies opposing the polls. Two people were killed and two others injured in Dimpaur district on January 31 after police fired on a mob trying to enter the chief minister's residence on Tuesday night. Tribal organisations in Nagaland have been demanding the resignation of the TR Zeliang-led Democratic Alliance of Nagaland government ever since.
