Farmers’ group hails UDA as messiah

Aizawl, Aug 9 : Zoram Kuthnathawktu Pawl (Mizoram Farmers’ Association) today hailed the United Democratic Alliance as the ‘new messiah to save the people from adversities and oppression’.

UDA is a pre-poll alliance, formed at the behest of the farmers’ group, by Zoram Nationalist Party and Mizoram People’s Conference to take on the two largest parties, ruling Mizo National Front and Congress in this year’s assembly polls.”The agreement of two parties to come under the umbrella of UDA is the most important milestone towards reformation of the existing political system in Mizoram,” a ZKP statement said.

The main objective of ZKP is to abolish autocracy in Mizoram, the statement said.

Being aware that no coalition government in Mizoram had been successful, it is ZKP’s commitment to chalk out a coalition framework/modality with a team of experts in the field, the statement said, and assured the people of Mizoram “not to worry”.

The MPC and the ZNP had formed an electoral alliance in the 2003 assembly polls. While the former got only three candidates elected, the ZNP captured only two seats.
