Aizawl: The state’s BJP unit lost its spokesperon and 16 other leaders on Thursday night as a result of the party’s selection of Lok Sabha election candidate, Nirupam Chakma.
“Lok Sabha individuals are representatives of the folks. The BJP prime command’s resolution to field a non-Mizo within the Mizo-dominated state is an insult to the bulk neighborhood,” Lalrozara, former spokesperson of the saffron party’s Mizoram unit, said. “While we respect the development work undertaken via the BJP-led govt on the Centre, the party has failed to deal with the fears of the Christian neighborhood,” he added.
Mizoram has all the time been witness to a schism between the bulk Mizo neighborhood and minority communities like Chakma and Bru. Last yr, simply sooner than the Mizoram meeting election, the influential Young Mizo Association had led a number of other Mizo organizations in tough that the Chakma Autonomous District Council be scrapped because Chakmas are “outsiders”.
BJP had banked on fortify from those minority communities to make inroads into the Christian-majority state the place it had by no means received a seat in either the meeting or Lok Sabha election. The saffron party managed to win its first seat within the state, Tuichawng, via fielding former Congress leader from the Chakma neighborhood, Buddha Dhan Chakma.
This time, too, BJP hopes to gain flooring within the Lok Sabha election with Nirupam, a former Congress leader and the state’s first Chakma minister. The veteran leader is now vice-president of BJP’s Mizoram unit.
