Mizoram Governor Kambhampati Hari Babu on Wednesday appointed BJP’s M Laikaw as the Chief Executive Member of the MADC and directed the latter to prove a majority within 30 days.
Earlier, Laikaw with 12 BJP members had staked a claim to form the next council claiming the support of 3 MNF MDCs as well.
