First Published: 9th October, 2022 13:04 IST
After opening it's account in the 2018 assembly elections, the Mizoram BJP is on a war footing to ensure that the party sails through in the 2023 elections.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is gearing up for the 2023 assembly elections in Mizoram with all out efforts being made to consolidate the Saffron party’s position.
As per inputs, the BJP will contest in all 40 Assembly seats in the 2023 elections.
This has been informed by Mizoram BJP president Vanlalhmuaka.
Earlier, in 2018 the party had fielded candidates in 39 out of the total 40 seats, out of which the party could win only 1 seat.
Although the BJP since 1993 was unsuccessful in the assembly elections, the party managed to open it’s account in 2018 polls.
It was BJP’s candidate Buddha Dhan Chakma who opened the account for the Saffron party.
Once a Congress MLA, Buddha Dhan Chakma had quit the party and joined BJP ahead of the 2018 election.
Notably, in 2013 the BJP had fielded 17 candidates, but managed to secure only 2,139 votes, which was 0.37% of the total vote share. However, in 2018 the BJP got over 50,000 votes, accounting 8% of the total vote share.
