Meet Mizoram CM Zoramthanga, a Guerrilla fighter in the political jungle

At 79, Zoramthanga is working to rebuild his image as the people's CM

On June 21, a minister in his council posted pictures on social media of Mizoram Chief Minister (CM) Zoramthanga “patiently waiting” his turn, alongside others, for a health check-up at an Aizawl hospital, with the caption “No VIP culture”.

Ten months ago, in August 2022, Zoramthanga had publicly apologised for his daughter assaulting a dermatologist at a skin clinic in the state capital. Media reports indicated that Milari Chhangte, the CM’s only daughter, was upset because the clinic had asked her to schedule an appointment before her consultation.

Her act was caught on camera and went viral on social media,
