Aizawl , May 30 : Cross sections of the Mizo people expressed dismay at the absence of a representative from the state in the union council of ministers while both MPs from neighbouring Meghalaya were inducted as union ministers.
Opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) leader M C Lalrinthanga today accused state chief minister Lal Thanhawla of being powerless to influence the UPA and the AICC leadership to include C L Ruala, the lone Lok Sabha member from the state, in the union ministry.
" While Meghalaya PCC leaders could manage to include both their MPs in the union ministry, the weakness of the Mizoram PCC leadership stood exposed," Lalrinthanga said.
Lallianchhunga, a lecturer of political science in Mizoram University, lamented that the Congress leadership in Delhi failed to appreciate the huge mandate received by the party from the people of Mizoram in the December state assembly polls and the recent Parliamentary polls.
