Congress leader C Ngunlianchunga claims the Zoram People's Movement and Mizo National Front are seeking to join the National Democratic Alliance in Mizoram.
The Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) and the Mizo National Front (MNF) are reportedly positioning themselves to become partners of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ahead of the next state elections in Mizoram, a development highlighted by Congress leader C. Ngunlianchunga.
Ngunlianchunga, speaking at a party meeting, alleged that both regional outfits are actively courting the BJP-led coalition, seeking to secure a place in the NDA's future electoral strategy for the Northeast. He warned that such a shift could reshape Mizoram's political landscape, traditionally dominated by regional parties and the Congress.
The statements come as the NDA, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, continues to expand its footprint in the region. While no official confirmation has been issued by ZPM or MNF, political analysts note that any formal alliance would require negotiations on policy priorities and seat-sharing arrangements. The Congress has yet to comment on the allegations, but the party is expected to monitor the situation closely as the election calendar approaches.
