Congress accuses BJP of hypocrisy over MNF alliance in Mizoram

Congress in Mizoram said that BJP went along with the Mizo National Front's (MNF) non-performance and corruption over the past 5 years, and are now finding fault.

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter), “JP Nadda and Nitin Gadkari are now finding fault with their ally MNF in Mizoram which is part of the NDA. This is sheer hypocrisy!They merrily went along with MNF's non-performance and corruption over the past 5 years, and are now finding fault. Last year, during the election campaign in Meghalaya, Amit Shah had called his ally Conrad Sangma's govt as the most corrupt in the country, and later went on to support him. This is how the BJP (mis)uses the regional parties. It’s the people of the Northeast who suffer. Let it be clear — a vote for the ZPM and MNF in Mizoram is actually a vote for the BJP”.

BJP released its manifesto for the assembly polls in Mizoram recently and stated an investigation will be initiated into a social welfare scheme of the MNF government.


BJP stated BJP will establish a special investigation team to probe the "irregularities and corruption" in the implementation of the Socio-Economic Development Programme, the flagship scheme of the Zoramthanga-led Mizo National Front (MNF) government.

MNF is an ally of NDA. MNF has maintained that its support to NDA is only issue based. The 40 member assembly polls will be held on November 7.
