‘Congress government will be formed in Mizoram’
During a press conference in Mizoram, Tharoor said that his party is going to form the government in the state. He said that this will be the first time after 2014 that Congress will form the government in any northeastern state.
He said, “Congress will oppose one country, one language, one code and one culture. We are against uniformity. We believe that unity can be achieved only by maintaining diversity.” During this time he also targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party. Tharoor said, “They have also failed to fulfill their promises since 2014, be it Rs 15 lakh in everyone’s bank account or 2 crore jobs.”
