Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday arrived in Nagaland on a one-day visit to the state.

According to reports, the Union Minister will be meeting Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and his cabinet colleagues to discuss the union budget 2022-23, besides other issues.

"Addressed the press conference at Dimapur in Nagaland to brief about the #AatmaNirbharBharatKaBudget presented by FM Smt @nsitharaman Ji to further the vision of hon'ble PM @narendramodi Ji," Rijiju tweeted.

The union minister will also hold meetings with state BJP unit leaders and later head to Manipur to campaign for the party for the ensuing 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly elections, the reports added.

Meanwhile, Rijiju on Friday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for ignoring Northeast India on Thursday.

Replying to the Congress leader's tweet "There is strength in our Union. Our Union of Cultures. Our Union of Diversity. Our Union of Languages. Our Union of People. Our Union of States. From Kashmir to Kerala. From Gujarat to West Bengal. India is beautiful in all its colours. Don’t insult the spirit of India," the Union Minister said in a tweet that the Northeastern part of India, including his state Arunachal Pradesh, is not a part of the Congress leader's "idea of India".

"For Shri Rahul Gandhi, India ends at West Bengal! The North East part of India, including my beautiful State of Arunachal Pradesh is not part of his idea of India," Rijiju tweeted.
