Mizo National Front (MNF) – the ruling party of Mizoram – announced its candidates for the 2019 elections as well as Assembly by-election on Wednesday. The announcement was made by party president and chief minister Zoramthanga at the MNF general headquarters.
The MNF Lok Sabha poll candidate will be C Lalrosanga who is a retired Indian Broadcasting Programme Service (IBPS) officer and formerly held the post of Director General of Doordarshan, New Delhi. He also served as the Deputy Director General and Additional Director General of All India Radio and Doordarshan (northeastern region).
C Lalrosanga said he hopes his experience with the Parliament House and parliamentary committees in his capacity as the former Director General of Doordarshan will help him to uphold his duty as Lok Sabha MP, if elected to power. The candidate said he will fight against “religious intolerance” and put opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) at the forefront.
