Two veterans quit Mizoram's ruling ZPM council amid leadership row

Aizawl, Sept 24 (UNI) Two veteran members of Mizoram's ruling Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), including former IAS officer Rin Sanga, have resigned from the party's Val Upa Council, its highest decision-making body, amid controversy over Chief Minister Lalduhoma taking over as party president.
Bualhranga, a former legislator and veteran of the Mizo National Front's underground movement, also resigned from the council on Thursday. In a lengthy resignation letter, he questioned the direction taken by the ZPM and criticised the recent amendment to its constitution that enabled the chief minister to simultaneously hold the party's top organisational post.
The ZPM had amended Article 21(1) of its constitution earlier this month, removing the restriction on the chief minister holding an elected office-bearer position in the party. Lalduhoma was subsequently appointed ZPM president on September 21.
