Rajnath Singh, the minister of defence, spoke at public gatherings on Wednesday in the Mizoram districts of Mamit and Siaha while on the campaign trail in the state.
Addressing a poll rally in Mamit, the Defence Minister assured a slew of guarantees for the people of Mizoram if the BJP comes to power.
He also criticised the Congress and the Mizo National Front (MNF), which is now in power in the state, for their failure to bring in development.
"Has the MNF done anything for the development of the people in Mizoram?
Said the minister of defence...Congress is synonymous with ineptitude and corruption.
Additionally, BJP is a byword for growth and leadership," he added.

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a āstructured roadmapā for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash ā which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers ā had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.
