BJP, MNF in cahoots, will protect Mizoram’s culture, religion: Rahul Gandhi

Hindustan Times  

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party and Mizoram’s ruling Mizo National Front, saying they were in cahoots while underlining his party’s “good record of governance and development” and pledging to protect the poll-bound state’s culture, tradition and religion. We will protect your culture, tradition, and religion,” Gandhi said while addressing a gathering after starting his poll campaign with a march from to the governor’s residence in Aizawl. The state government has provided just 2000 jobs in five years and roads and infrastructure in Mizoram are in shambles.” Gandhi referred to his Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra last year and said he walked across India covering around 4000 km. Gandhi’s visit is the first by a top Congress leader following last week’s announcement of assembly polls on November 7.
