BJP dumps ally in Mizoram, demands President's Rule in Zoramthanga-ruled state

New Delhi/Aizawl 

Stating that the Mizoram unit of the BJP has been deeply concerned about the fast-deteriorating administration in the state under MNF leadership due to utter lack of concern for the welfare of the people, the saffron has demanded imposition of President's Rule in the state.

Mizoram BJP has requested the state governor Hari Babu Kambhampati to invoke Article 356(1) of the Indian Constitution to take over State administration, alleging that the present Mizo National Front (MNF) government has failed the people in many fronts.

"....deeming it our public duty to reveal the burgeoning maladministration in this State and take corrective steps in the larger interest of public as also to help stop wanton waste of huge amount of fund granted by the Government of India," the party  said in a memorandum. 

The BJP also asked the Governor "to direct the Government of India to set up a probe into all these criminal activities and punish those involved, big or small in the interest of development of Mizoram and its people."
