Piyush Goyal says ‘citizen from Mizoram’ happy with Citizenship Act, but he’s actually a BJP MP

  • Minister for Railways Piyush Goyal recently posted a video on Twitter in which a person is seen to be singing praises of the Citizenship Act. 
  • The video was recorded on December 10, a day after the Citizenship Amendment Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha. In the description of the video, Goyal refers to the man as a “citizen from Mizoram”.
  • “I was thrilled to understand that the central government is taking so much care about north-eastern tribals and also the fact that they are making special provisions for the north-eastern region,” the person in the video said.
  • However, there is a catch here. The man who features in the video shared by Goyal is no ordinary “citizen from Mizoram” but Bharatiya Janata Party MP Hriata Chhangte.
  • He fought the elections as an Independent candidate and joined the BJP later on. This was pointed out by Twitter handle @Mizohican.                                                                                                                                                                                      Also read- Mizoram to ban private practice of govt doctors from January
