Lalrinliana Sailo said the main reason was the governmentโs inability to create Khawzawl district, a major town of his constituency.
โDuring our campaigns our party leadership promised Khawzawl district, but our government has totally declined the formation of Khawzawl district, as an elected legislator from the constituency, I accept that the governmentโs failure is my failure, and looking at the present political scenario of Tuichang constituency, my future is doomed already, I have made my decision to quit from the Congress party and my MLAโs post,โ Lalrinliana Sailo said.
