Northeast Desk, 27th October: After a significant push by Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party is gearing up to utilise its star power to secure victory in the Christian-dominated state of Mizoram, which is set to hold assembly polls on November 7.
Prominent Congress leader Jairam Ramesh in Aizawl has made a statement in which he highlighted the political landscape of the state.
Ramesh pointed out that the MNF (Mizo National Front) has been asserting its independence from the BJP, but he emphasized that in his opinion, the MNF and BJP share close ties and are akin to two sides of the same coin.
Furthermore, Ramesh addressed the ZPM (Zoram People’s Movement), characterizing it as a relatively new party.
In his assessment, Ramesh noted that the ZPM lacks a clearly defined program, a strong organizational structure, and a well-defined ideology.
It needs to be mentioned that the Congress party’s strategic use of its star leaders underscores its push to gaining support in Mizoram, particularly among the Christian-majority population.
