00:00 Mr. Shankde, looking at a new sun rising in the east, ZPM,

00:06 was that expected?

00:08 Did Sauram Thanga see it coming?

00:13 It was largely expected by the Goman people.

00:17 But Sauram Thanga and his party, the ruling MNF,

00:20 since they are in the position power for only one Trump,

00:26 in Mizoram there has been a funny, rather funny,

00:30 interesting of the fact that every party who rules the state

00:34 will rule for two Trumps, Congress two Trumps, MNF two

00:38 Trumps.

00:38 But then our MNF friends were reluctant to give up this time.

00:43 They said that this is only our first time,

00:45 so there will not be change.

00:46 But then the way I see the results here,

00:49 a landslide victory for ZPM, Zoram People's Movement,

00:55 I think it is the expectation of the people to make a change.

01:00 So we are for the change only.

01:02 So I think this is a good and very healthy, progressive

01:06 attitude of the Mizoram voters here.

01:09 I think we have to accept that.

01:10 Talking about the key issues that Mizoram went to polls with,

01:15 in your opinion, what was it that changed the tide

01:19 in favor of ZPM?

01:22 It is mainly because of the fact that the present ruling

01:26 party, MNF, there is too much of nepotism and corruption

01:30 in the government.

01:32 So I think Mizoram being--

01:34 we are very educated, only a population of 12 lakh,

01:38 we know each and every tricks of the government here.

01:43 So by allotting the government contracts and all,

01:45 so there have been a lot of nepotism

01:47 and people are getting fed up with this.

01:49 So they say that since ZPM is a new political party,

01:53 established only in the year 2019,

01:56 so Mizoram people gracefully, openly have accepted that,

02:01 OK, let's give these guys a few chance.

02:04 So let's see.

02:05 I think we are going in that line only.

02:07 How important, in your opinion, is it for the leaders,

02:13 the political leaders, the ruling class,

02:15 it is important to understand the pulse of the people?

02:17 You say that Mizoram gives two terms,

02:20 and I think two terms is what Telangana also gave KCR.

02:24 But again, he couldn't hit a hat trick.

02:27 Well, see, I have been traveling quite a lot

02:31 during the election time.

02:32 In fact, I'm from the Congress party.

02:36 It is doing very badly today.

02:38 And in fact, I had contested an MP

02:41 as an independent candidate in 2019,

02:44 I mean, ex-candidate of the MP.

02:46 So I'm from Mizoram.

02:48 Yeah, from Mizoram.

02:50 So this time around, what happened

02:52 is that as a Congress star campaigner,

02:55 I've been traveling in almost 13 to 14 constituencies,

02:58 or 40 constituencies.

03:00 And I find that the Mizoram voters are quite smart,

03:04 quite literate.

03:05 And I think they are not being bluffed by the propaganda

03:09 or the high-sounding manifestos.

03:12 They have their own choices clear well before the election.

03:16 Say, when we have about six months,

03:20 I believe that the voters have already decided

03:22 to change the government.

03:24 So I think in Mizoram, like in other progressive states,

03:28 what is the most important for any particular state government

03:31 is to deliver the goods.

03:33 They have to perform.

03:35 So our young generation, let's say,

03:38 I can see from the statistics that 18 to 35 years old,

03:45 the new generation voters and the first-time voters,

03:49 they are about 52% of the total electorates.

03:54 These guys, they are well aware of what is going on

03:57 in the part of India.

03:59 They are fed up with the toll claim

04:02 in the political platforms.

04:04 So they don't believe that.

04:06 So they simply give that, OK, we have Congress,

04:09 who are there ruled for about five terms,

04:13 MNF for three terms.

04:14 So basically, this is a way, if you know,

04:18 that is covering the whole of Mizoram for a change.

04:22 People are not very sure whether ZPM

04:23 will be able to perform better than Congress or MNF.

04:27 But people think that, OK, let's give a chance to ZPM.

04:31 And if it's not good, then we'll throw them out again.

04:34 So the Mizor voters think quite smartly.

04:37 I don't think we are too much influenced

04:39 by the political gimmicks of our leaders.

04:42 Promises and guarantees.

04:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:44 We are not being swept away by that, you know?
