New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday appealed to people in Mizoram to vote for his party, saying while the Congress had helped bring peace and stability in the state, the BJP and the RSS were hell-bent on destroying Mizo culture and way of life.
While appealing people to vote for Congress, Kharge also listed out the Congress seven guarantees for Mizoram, which include creation of job opportunities, strengthening democracy at the grassroots, health insurance cover of Rs 15 lakh and special care of cancer patients, monthly old age pension of Rs 2,000, providing subsidised LPG cylinder at Rs 750, and Rs 2,000 monthly assistance to widows and the disabled.
Hrangchal is married to a Gorkha. Congress has fielded two women candidates, the other one being former minister of state Vanlalawmpuii Chawngthu. Hrangchal is the daughter of former Deputy Chief Minister Lalhmingthanga. Her husband, though a Gorkha, has a Mizo name – Dipen Zoliana, who is also a Christian and a church elder of the Baptist Church of Mizoram.
