AIZAWL, Oct 3: Threetime
Congress MLA Lalrinliana
Sailo today tendered his
resignation as legislator and
subsequently left the party.
Minutes after he submitted
his resignation letter to Assembly
Speaker, Sailo, flanked
by a few opposition Mizo National
Front (MNF) MLAs and
supporters, proceeded to Congress
Bhavan where his papers
were received by Congress
vice president and Lok
Sabha member CL Ruala.
Sailo’s move has not come
as a surprise as he has already
hinted, during his final tour to his Tuichang constituency
last week, that he would quit.
Talking to reporters after
he tendered his resignation
papers, Sailo made it clear that
he would join MNF, but refused
to comment on whether
he would get party ticket.
“Yes, I will join MNF,” he said.
Asked to confirm on reports
that he would contest on MNF
ticket from Chalfilh seat, he
said, “That depends on MNF
leadership. I can’t say anything
now.

Last month, the second most
important person in Congress
and Home Minister R Lalzirliana
had resigned from the
Cabinet and was subsequently
expelled from the Congress.
Sources confirmed that the duo
will join the MNF and contest
the upcoming elections.
