UNC launched a survey of the developmental progress in the Naga inhabited areas of Manipur state to investigate the claim of the state government. This tour was undertaken as state government claims that the tribal areas in the state have not been neglected as opposed to UNC's claim that the Nagas and the tribals in general are not given their due share. The Nagas in Manipur have been demanding for a more political and economic autonomy to safeguard their economic interest and political identity- pending Indo-Naga political solution.

The state has 60 MLAs, out of which 19 seats are reserved for the tribals.Though Kangpokpi is a General seat, the MLA is a tribal. Thus altogether there are 20 tribal MLAs  out of 60 MLAs in the state; out of 20,  11 MLAs belong to the Naga community. The party-wise break-up for the 11 MLAs is as follows: 6 Congress; 4 NPF and 1 MSCP. The state is ruled by the Congress, with Ibobi Singh as the Chief Minister and Gaikhangam as Deputy Chief Minister!
