Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb and state Social Welfare Minister Santan Chakma left for Mizoram on Tuesday to campaign for the Assembly elections scheduled to be held there on November 28, party leaders said.
Mr. Deb and Mr. Chakma also addressed a poll rally at Kamalanagar, the headquarters of Chakma Autonomus District Council, BJP spokesperson Subrata Chakraborty said.
Mr. Deb was given special responsibility to join the Assembly poll campaign in Mizoram, he added.
Many chief ministers from the northeastern States will join the campaign for the Mizoram Assembly elections, including Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Mr. Chakraborty said.
In the 40-member Mizoram Assembly there are at least five seats, which are dominated by the Reang and Chakma community voters.
