Three regional parties in Mizoram have formed an alliance ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled for December. Of the 40 seats in the Mizoram Assembly, the Congress holds 34.
These parties are Peoples’ Representation for Identity and Status of Mizoram, Mizoram Chhantu Pawl or Save Mizoram Front and Operation Mizoram. “We will strive to bring all of Mizoram under the Sixth Schedule, end border disputes with Assam and drive out illegal immigrants,” Vanlalhuma Kawlni, the convenor of Operation Mizoram said at a joint meeting last week.
The Zoram Nationalist Party, Mizoram People’s Conference and Zoram Exodus Movement had forged an alliance called the Zoram People’s Movement a year ago in a bid to remove the Congress from power.
