NDA ally MNF cites attacks on Christians, to keep away from BJP

The Chief Minister of Mizoram and president of the Mizo National Front (MNF), Zoramthanga, has stated that his party will not collaborate with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming state legislature elections. Zoramthanga blamed the BJP for alleged attacks on churches in Manipur, which is governed by the saffron party. He emphasized that as the majority of people in Mizoram are Christians, aligning with the BJP would have a negative impact on the governing party. Zoramthanga also mentioned that he will not share the stage with Prime Minister Modi during the election campaign.
