In a major setback to MNF ahead of Mizoram Polls on November 7, the state assembly Speaker resigned on Wednesday from his post and assembly membership.
Mizo National Front (MNF) and main opposition Congress on Monday opposed the date of counting for votes in the Assembly polls being fixed for December 3 as the day (Sunday) is a prayer day for Christians.
In a significant political development, the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) party, which is an ally of the BJP-led NDA, has decided to support the opposition sponsored no-confidence motion, being discussed in the Lok Sabha.
He had said, “MNF and the BJP work together for development, but not on the Mizo and religious issues and we do not say ‘ji saheb’ (yes, sir) to whatever they say." he said.
