Ahead of Assembly polls in Mizoram, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on November 2 accused the BJP of seeking to take away land from tribals in Mizoram for their "cronies".
Mr. Kharge further alleged that regional outfits like the Mizo National Front (MNF) and Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) are acting as "unofficial agents" of the BJP. "Rajiv Gandhi brought peace to Mizoram through the Peace Accord in 1986 and secured Statehood in 1987. Congress has always been committed to its progress. BJP-RSS are against diversity, and they want to take away the precious land and forest that are the property of the tribals for the welfare of their cronies. MNF and ZPM are acting as unofficial agents of the BJP," Mr. Kharge posted on X.
Mr. Kharge said that the people of Mizoram deserve peace, prosperity and progress and that Congress guarantees Mizoram’s welfare, inclusiveness and economic security. “The people of Mizoram deserve peace, prosperity and progress. What we promise, we deliver. Our guarantees for the State of Mizoram shall usher in welfare, inclusiveness and economic security. Kan Ram, Kan Hnam, Kan Sakhaw Him, Nan Mizoram Tan Congress,” the Congress President said.
