Prime Minister Modi cancels campaign trip to Mizoram

Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cancelled his election campaign, scheduled on October 30, in poll-bound Mizoram.

Home Minister Amit Shah would lead the BJP’s poll campaign.

BJP's Mizoram state President Vanlalhmuaka said that Shah is likely to address an election rally in Mamit district, where the Prime Minister is scheduled to address an election rally on October 30.


However, Shah’s campaign schedule is yet to be finalized, he said.

Commenting on the cancellation of Prime Minister’s visit to Mizoram, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that Modi cancelled his Mizoram election rally due to his silence over Manipur crisis.

Ramesh in a post on the X said : “The Prime Minister was to address an election rally in Mizoram on Oct 30th. But now there are reports that he has cancelled his visit.

Could it be because questions would be raised that he had not found time to visit the deeply troubled neighbouring state that has been on the deep edge for almost 180 days… with what face would he go to the rally in Mizoram ?”
