Apart from Greater Nagalim, the demand for a Frontier Nagaland has hogged the limelight recently. As per its supporters, the proposed state would be carved out of six eastern Nagaland districts —Mon, Kiphire, Longleng, Tuensang, Shamator, and Noklak— where 20 out of 60 Assembly seats are located. Notably, a Frontier Nagaland was a poll promise of the then-BJP President Nitin Gadkari if the BJP came to power in the Centre in 2014. This demand for a separate state out of Nagaland was a two-decade-old demand mostly arising out of lack of development and administrative infrastructure in the hilly terrains of eastern part of the state.
