The Mizo Students Federation today accused the NDA government of using the state as a "dumping ground" of governors appointed by the UPA government and said it was not going down well with the Mizo people.
Stating that Mizoram had four governors in two months, the students' body chief Lalhmachhuana said that they would lodge a written complaint to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue.
"It is unfair for the Mizo people," he said.
Since the transfer of Mizoram Governor V Purushothaman on July 6 to Nagaland, he said, the other governors during the period were former Gujarat Governor Dr Kamla Beniwal, Manipur Governor V K Duggal who was given an additional charge and Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan who resigned soon after he was appointed on Saturday last.
