Mizoram will elect a non-Congress govt: Ram Madhav
Kolkata, Oct 5 : BJP general secretary in charge of the north east Ram Madhav Friday expressed confidence that poll-bound Mizoram will elect a non-Congress government, thus leading to a "Congress-mukt North East".
Mizoram is the only state in the North East region which is under the Congress rule at present.
The assembly election in Mizoram is due in December.
"We are very confident that the voters of Mizoram will reject the Congress and will elect a non-Congress government in the (ensuing assembly election). In that sense, it will be a 'Congress-mukt' North East in terms of government," Madhav said at the India Today Conclave East 2018 here.
"The Congress party, whether it will remain or not, is not in my hand. It is in the hands of (Congress chief) Rahul Gandhi," he said.
Asked about the secret of Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) success in the North East, Madhav said, "It is through the good democratic practice of reaching out to the people".
Earlier this week, the BJP leader had said in Aizawl that the saffron party would fight the assembly election in Mizoram on its own, but did not rule out a post-poll alliance with "like-minded" parties.
He had also said that the party would field candidates in all 40 assembly seats.

UP: Woman's body found stuffed in suitcase at home, family claims suicide
Shahjahanpur (UP), May 18 (PTI): Police found a woman's body stuffed inside a large suitcase at her residence here on Sunday after her family claimed that she had committed suicide, officials said.
The 32-year-old woman's husband claimed that she died by hanging herself with a scarf, and that he removed the body and placed it inside the suitcase fearing action by police, they said.
Other family members, including the couple's children, corroborated the husband's claims.
Superintendent of Police Rajesh Dwivedi told PTI that the body of Savita, wife of Ashok Kumar, was found inside a suitcase at her house in Tilhar town.
According to Dwivedi, the woman’s brother-in-law informed police that she had allegedly died by suicide.
However, when a police team reached the spot, they found her body concealed inside a suitcase.
Preliminary examination showed marks around her neck, they said, adding that the body had not yet decomposed, the SP said.
During questioning, Savita’s husband claimed that she committed suicide by hanging herself with her scarf. He also claimed fearing action against him, he removed the body and placed it inside the suitcase, police said.
Dwivedi added that this version of events was corroborated by the couple’s two children. However, the act of concealing the body in a suitcase raised suspicions, he said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem, and an investigation is underway. Legal action will be taken against anyone found guilty, the SP added.
