JV Hluna, Mizoram’s BJP president, told ET, “Amit Shah will inaugurate the party office in Aizwal. He will address booth-level party workers. Around 15,000 booth level workers from across the state will attend the meeting. A gathering of 15,000 workers is considered huge in Mizoram.”
BJP, which is currently ruling Assam, Tripura, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh and supports coalition governments in Meghalaya and Nagaland, has decided to go it alone in the Mizoram polls and plans to contest all the 40 seats there.
The party has almost finalised all its candidates. Meanwhile, there has been a realignment of forces with three regional parties –– the People’s Represent for Identity and Status of Mizoram (PRISM), Mizoram Chhantu Pawl (MCP) and Save Mizoram Front and Operation Mizoram –– forging a pre-poll electoral alliance.
