Kohima: Outgoing Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang on Tuesday said he had submitted his resignation to governor P.B. Acharya.
He told reporters that his party, the Naga People’s Front (NPF), would play the role of a constructive opposition in the Assembly for the welfare of the state.
Zeliang had earlier claimed that he had the support of the majority of the MLAs in the House.
