Mizoram: 5 ZPM members of Chakma district council joins BJP

AIZAWL: (Jan 12) Five ZPM members of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) in Mizoram joined the BJP.

The development happened days after the ruling ZPM claimed it commanded a majority with 16 members in the 20-strong council and urged Governor VK Singh to order a floor test in the House.

It also follows the state Cabinet ruling out any political instability in the council, necessitating the extension of the governor's rule, which was imposed in July last year, citing that no party has a majority.
