Will Congress lose its only bastion in the NE?

Ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came into power in the year 2014, BJP led NDA has

made its presence in more number of states. Even the north-eastern states have been through

the popular saffron surge under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is under

the Act East policy of Narendra Modi and his BJP led NDA government. Since then BJP led

NDA has been a part of the governance system in all the states of north-east except the state

of Mizoram. Congress, under the chief ministership of Lal Thanhawala, has been in power for

almost 10 years.

However, the party has been facing a stiff and increasing challenge from the

alliance of BJP and Mizo National Font. Congress has also tried to fill the seats with younger

candidates in order to push away their anti-incumbency. However, the prevalent question today

that is of extreme importance today is whether this strategy of Congress shall suffice for its

a plightful and lone condition in the region of North East. As per various service, Congress is likely

to hold 14 to 18 seats in Mizoram while it’s counterpart is likely to win with 16 to 20 seats.
