Nagaland, where many candidates are million-dollar babies
In Dimapur, Nagaland, KL Chishi is a big name. The veteran politician, who has been chief minister of the state in the 90s, is contesting for the second time from this predominantly urban constituency. However, Mr Chishi's claim to fame is not just all this. At Rs. 51 crore, the Congressman is also the richest candidate in the upcoming Nagaland elections to be held on February 23, according to data released by the NGO, National Elections Watch. The current Chief Minister and National People's Front (NPF) leader Neiphiu Rio is a distant second, with assets worth Rs. 19 crore.
