No time for experiments, Sonia Gandhi appeals to people of Mizoram
The HinduRecalling her decades-old association with Mizoram, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday released a video in which she made a “personal appeal” to the people to vote for her party in the November 7 Assembly election to ensure peace and progress in the northeastern State. “This is no time for experiments,” Ms. Gandhi said, adding that only the Congress could guarantee development in the State and empower the people of Mizoram. In a reference to the party’s election election symbol, Ms. Gandhi said the Congress was “the hand of experience and security”. Ms. Gandhi, in the more than three-minute-long video appeal, launched an all-out attack on the BJP-RSS and claimed that democracy in Mizoram and the Northeast, like elsewhere, was “under threat”.
