Chief Minister Lalthanhawla Spreading Lies: Mizoram BJP

Guwahati: Mizoram BJP General Secretary Vanlalhmuaka on Monday has alleged that Chief Minister Lalthanhawla was lying that the Congress had severed ties with the party in Chakma Autonomous District Council (CDAC).

Addressing the Media at a Press Conference here today, Vanlalhmuaka said that when the result of the council was announced, it was the Congress party who tried tying up with the BJP party while maintaining that the BJP never made a move to tie up with the Congress.

The BJP general secretary also asked the Congress to fight the election with fairness and not by lying to the people of Mizoram.

Noteworthy, the Congress and the BJP have joined hands to rule the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) in Mizoram, after the election threw a fractured mandate. The Congress bagged six seats while the BJP won five seats in the election to the 20-member CADC held in April this year.

The two parties had formed a joint legislative party, which had elected Santi Jiban Chakma of Bjp, as its leader and Buddha Lila Chakma of the Congress, as its deputy leader.

The CDAC is an autonomous Council for the ethnic Chakma people, formed under the 6th schedule of the Indian Constitution on April 29, 1972. The Council exercises legislative, executive and judicial power over the allotted departments within the territory of CDAC.
