Losii Dikho as Deputy CM : A responsibility well mastered

Sani Bosco
For a former Entrepreneur now elected member representing 48-Mao Assembly Constituency for the third consecutive term, the journey has been a roller coaster ride for newly sworn in Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho. A journey completing its 15th year in March this year as elected member since 2012, the rise continues with bigger administrative responsibilities. But now equipped with political experiences, huge followers and acceptance from his critics & rivals as people’s Minister, the new Dy CM is a man to watch for his down to earth attitude towards every community, humility and most importantly trouble shooter skills he mastered over the years.
Right from day one after the swearing in ceremony at Lok Bhavan (formerly known as Raj Bhavan) on 4th February, 2026, Losii Dikho wasted no time in reaching out to different communities. On 7th February, despite opposition and disapproval from certain section of people, Dikho travelled to Motbung and visited Compassion Children Home, Theological College and interacted with Thadou youths & CSO leaders.
On 8th February, He immediately invited the Foothills Naga Co-coordinating Committee (FNCC) and Joint Tribe Council (JTC) leaders comprising of different Naga communities and held a marathon three hours discussion to de-escalate the increasing tension alleging negligence of Government and non-adherence of MoU signed between GoM & FNCC/JTC regarding closure of Kangpokpi to Churachandpur alternate road. The meeting of Dy CM and the two bodies was held over the past few days continuously to resolve the matter which is likely to come to understanding soon.
