The Second Zeliang ministry was the 20th ministry in the Indian state of Nagaland which was formed on 19 July 2017 under the leadership of chief minister T. R. Zeliang, who succeeded Shürhozelie Liezietsu.[1] Zeliang won a vote of no-confidence on 21 July 2017 in the state legislature[2] and expanded his council of ministers the following day.
The ministry remain in power until the chief minister's resignation on 8 March 2018 following the 2018 Legislative Assembly election.
History[edit | edit source]
In February 2017, chief minister T. R. Zeliang was forced to resign from office following mass violent protests by tribal groups against his government's decision to hold urban body polls with 33 percent seats reserved for women. Following his resignation, Naga People's Front party president Shürhozelie Liezietsu was sworn in as chief minister.
On 4 July 2017, Zeliang along with 33 other MLAs held a meeting and claimed it to be the Naga People's Front legislative party meeting where Zeliang was elected as the party leader. The party MLAs authorised Zeliang to stake claim to form government before the governor heading the National Democratic Alliance government in the state along with the Bharatiya Janata Party and eight other independents. Liezietsu finally stepped down as chief minister on 19 July 2017 and Zeliang was sworn in into office by governor Padmanabha Acharya. He proved his majority in the state legislature on 21 July 2017 and formed his ministry on 22 July 2017.
Composition[edit | edit source]
The ministry was formed on 22 July 2017 with the swearing-in of twelve cabinet ministers. Later on 13 December 2017, he sacked five ministers and subsequently two other ministers on 15 December 2017. He, thereupon, inducted six other cabinet ministers.[3] Apart from the cabinet ministers, the council of ministers also composed of advisers of cabinet rank and parliamentary secretaries.[4]
