In a heartfelt gesture, Nagaland Deputy Chief Minister Y. Patton recently shared a glimpse of his compassionate side on social media. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Patton uploaded a photograph of himself distributing eatables to an elderly man by the roadside.
“Along the Englan–Wokha roadside today, met Mr. Latio Murry, 77 — a familiar face to many in Wokha. Shared a few eatables and a brief conversation. Always nice to pause for a moment and connect with people from different walks of life,” he wrote.
The post, which has been reposted by many leaders and well-wishers, captures more than just an act of kindness — it reflects Mr. Patton’s humility and his genuine concern for the less fortunate.
Known for his strong leadership and straightforward nature, Mr. Patton has long been admired as a man who calls a spade a spade. His influence extends beyond state politics, with a growing presence and respect at the national level as well.
From being a steadfast voice in the political arena to remaining grounded and empathetic, Y. Patton continues to embody leadership with heart.
In the end, true leaders are not only defined by power or position, but by their ability to feel the pain and agony of the helpless and the weaker sections of society.
