 "Mallikarjun Kharge")
Ahead of the assembly elections in Mizoram, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday criticised regional parties such as the Mizo National Front (MNF) and the Zoram's People Movement (ZPM) for acting out as the "unofficial agents" of the BJP.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kharge accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of seeking to take away precious land of tribals in Mizoram for their "cronies". Kharge said that the Congress shall usher welfare, inclusiveness and economic security in the northeastern state, adding that the people of Mizoram deserve peace and progress.
"BJP-RSS are against diversity, and they want to take away the precious land and forest that are the property of the tribals, for the welfare of their cronies," he charged on X.
