The BJP has criticised the Zoramthanga Government for mismanaging the State’s economy and finances. The Zoramthanga Government has virtually left no funds for development of the poor, alleged the Mizoram unit of the BJP.

“There has been no fund meant for uplift of the poor farmers and daily-bread earners after Rs. 48 crore out of  Rs. 57 crore the State Government received as Central assistance per month was disbursed towards payment of salaries of ministers, legislators and Government employees,” said a resolution passed at the two-day State Executive Council meeting of the State BJP unit. A mere Rs. 9 crore were spent for other establishment expenses, the resolution claimed.

The resolution urged the Zoramthanga Government to buy ginger at Rs 10 per kg from farmers and introduce crop insurance for them. The resolution praised the BJP-led Government at the Centre in its efforts to help the kisans. “Christianity and the country are safe in the hands of able leader like Atal Behari Vajpayee,” it added.
