With the Dampa Assembly by-election drawing near, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mizoram unit has accelerated its campaign activities in the region.

This is my sincere assurance.” His remarks were received by party workers as a pledge to address longstanding issues in the region if the BJP secures victory in the by-election.

Dr. Beichhua went on to highlight the BJP’s national character and internal cohesion. He stressed the connection between the central leadership and the state unit, noting consistent support for Mizoram from the party’s national hierarchy. He said, “Some may believe the State Government holds greater importance, but we in the BJP Mizoram know that our central leaders value us and are committed to fulfilling the needs of the people.” This reference to the party’s structure aimed to reassure local party members of their significance within the broader BJP framework.

The BJP leader also drew attention to the implementation of Central Government schemes in Mizoram.

Highlighting growing momentum behind the BJP candidate, Dr. Beichhua revealed that Union Ministers have extended their support and will visit the constituency to bolster the campaign. He concluded, “If our candidate wins in Dampa, I am confident that the long-awaited development of the region will finally begin.” The pledged visits and support from senior party leaders underscore the importance the BJP places on the Dampa by-election as part of its broader strategy in Mizoram.
