Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has exuded his confidence in his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning the Mizoram Assembly Elections, saying that the people of the north-eastern state will definitely consider that a BJP-led government is 'absolutely necessary' if Mizoram is to develop further.
The Union Minister for Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush visited Mizoram to campaign for BJP candidates for the November 7 assembly elections.
Speaking to ANI, the union minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the nine and a half years, whatever development and exemplary transformation have taken place is a source of inspiration for the whole North East.
