The ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are neither friends nor foes despite being constituents of the National Democratic Alliance, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga indicated on Tuesday.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said the MNF and regional rival Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) were entry points for the BJP in Mizoram. The ZPM, on the other hand, accused the MNF of diluting its Christianity-influenced identity by aligning with the ‘Hindutva’ BJP.
