In a landmark political development, key leaders from across India’s North Eastern states have announced a “collective and historic” plan to form a unified political front — a move aimed at giving the region a stronger and more coordinated voice in national politics.

Outlined in a joint declaration titled “ONE NORTH EAST,” the initiative seeks to transcend party affiliations and bring together regional aspirations under a single political platform.

The statement was jointly signed by Meghalaya Chief Minister and NPP president Conrad K. Sangma, TIPRA Motha founder Pradyot Bikram Manikya, former BJP national spokesperson and Nagaland minister Mmhonlumo Kikon, and People’s Party Assam founder Daniel Langthasa.

Emphasising that their “strength lies in unity,” the leaders — described as the younger generation of North East politics — said it was time to move beyond fragmented political narratives.

“For too long, we have spoken about the same issues and concerns of our people, but from different platforms. We have realised that it is time to give our people one collective voice,”
the joint statement read.

 

The leaders asserted that the people of the North East “deserve to be heard, respected, and represented through a strong, unified, and indigenous political voice at the national level.”

Calling the announcement the first step of a larger journey, they said a committee would soon be formed to work out the modalities, structure, and roadmap for the proposed entity.

Drawing inspiration from past leaders who “fought selflessly for the dignity and identity of the region,” the declaration ended with a powerful message:

“Together, we stand committed to building a stronger, more united North East.”
