AIZAWL: Ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) in Mizoram, an ally of the BJP and partner in the national democratic alliance (NDA), will back the no-confidence motion against Modi government brought by the opposition parties under INDIA bloc.
This was informed by MNF leader and Lok Sabha MP from Mizoram C Lalrosanga on Thursday (August 10).
Lok Sabha MP from Mizoram C Lalrosanga, while briefing the media, said that he will back the opposition’s no-trust motion against the Modi government as the central government ‘failed’ to handle the crisis in Manipur.

“We (MNF) are a part of the BJP-led NDA, but I want to make it clear that we are not afraid of the NDA nor do we subscribe all of the policies of the alliance,” Mizoram CM Zoramthanga had said.
He added: “The MNF is in alliance with the BJP for bringing development in Mizoram. But we are not the yes man of the BJP.”
