PM Modi is likely to visit Mamit town in the western part of the state on October 30, and campaign for the BJP candidates. “The people of Mizoram are all Christians. When the people of Manipur (Meities) burned hundreds of churches in Manipur, they were (Mizos) totally against that kind of idea. To have sympathy with the BJP at this time will be a big minus point for my party,” Zoramthanga told BBC News in an interview.
“It will be better if the prime minister comes alone and he shares the platform by himself, and I take the stage separately by myself,” he said. Zoramthanga’s MNF is a part of the BJP-led North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) and an ally of the NDA at the Centre. However, the party does not work with the BJP in Mizoram.
