MNF focuses on Mizo nationality, achievable development goals

GUWAHATI: Hoping to beat Congress to win back power in Mizoram after November 28 polls, the Mizo National Front (MNF) headed by Zoramthanga focuses two key agenda -- upholding Mizo nationality and a realistic socio-economic development programme.

The MNF also has also resorted to a rigorous selection process to pinpoint the right candidate for each of the Assembly constituencies. The party is very particular about the profiles of its candidates including their personality, antecedents, education, age, and capability to command the respect of the voters.

The MNF sounds very concerned about the viability, possibility, and affordability of the schemes it has promised under its flagship socio-economic development programme (SEDP). It has a structure in place to implement what it has promised.

The MNF has promised to adopt a viable sports policy in the soccer-crazy Mizoram that has abundant sporting talents. The Congress despite being in the power for such a long time, has failed to adopt a sports policy.

The reason why football has become so popular in the state is because of clubs, promoters, and private players. The government has not played any role so far.

MNF is focused on Mizo nationalism. It is a party without boundaries and for all Mizos, no matter which part of the region, country or the world they are. Any Mizo can join the party.

The MNF has a strong party structure that will be of much help during the election. Moreover, the inflow of members of other political parties to MNF in the run-up to the polls was unprecedented and morale-boosting for the party workers.

In order to counter Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s allegation that the MNF being accommodative to the BJP, the regional party is now highlighting the unprecedented alliance Congress stitched with the saffron party in the Chakma Autonomous Development Council in April this year.
