Zoram People’s Movement leader Lalduhoma,
who is set to be the next Mizoram Chief Minister, has said 100 days work plan
for the development of the State will be announced immediately after the
swearing-in ceremony gets over.
Responding to a question about the
Deputy CM in the new government and induction of women’s legislature in his
government, Lalduhoma said it has not been decided yet.
“ZPM has a different system. We have our
own party constitution under which I have no responsibility or authority to
appoint ministers. It has to be jointly done by the elder’s council for which
we have a meeting tonight. We will finalize tonight,” said Lalduhoma.
By expressing his gratitude to the
people of Mizoram for giving the mandate in favour of ZPM, Lalduhom said, “We
thank all the people of Mizoram. I appeal to them to have a high hope for the
future.”
Former IPS officer and the leader of
Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) Lalduhoma will take the oath as the Chief
Minister of Mizoram on December 8.
He said a 100-day work plan for the
development of Mizoram will be announced immediately after the swearing-in is
over.
“I am going to have a press meeting
regarding this. Farmers development initiatives will also be announced on that
day,” said Lalduhoma.
Lalduhoma met the Mizoram Governor at Raj
Bhawan in Aizawl on Wednesday and stake claim to form the government.
Further speaking on Myanmar refugees in
Mizoram, Lalduhoma again said they all are Indian citizens and there is no
difference.
“Yesterday, I talked to the Home
Minister, I will go to Delhi and meet him and discuss the issue. They are all
Indian citizens. There is no difference. The Home Minister has assured of full
cooperation,” he said.
ZPM registered a landslide victory by
winning 27 out of 40 Assembly constituencies in Mizoram, of which results were
declared on December 4.
On Tuesday the ZPM conducted a special
worship service to mark their victory. ZPM newly elected MLA, Baryl
Vanneihsangi, who was also present at the venue for the worship service, credited
all the women of the community for her victory.
“I dedicate this win to every woman in
our society and community,” she said.
The ZPM, which was formed six years ago
through a merger of six smaller outfits, swept the Assembly polls, ending the
decades-old trend of power alternating between the MNF and the Congress in the
Northeast State.
