Mizoram Assembly elections 2023: Brus hold key to Hachhek constituency

Even though more than 35,000 Bru people have migrated to Tripura after ethnic riots more than a decade back, around 5,000 of the tribals as well as voters from other smaller minority tribes still hold the key to the Hachhek assembly constituency in Mamit district of Mizoram that will go to polls on November 7. The ruling Mizo National Front (MNF), the main opposition Zoram Peoples Movement (ZPM), the Congress and the BJP are leaving no stone unturned to earn the confidence of Bru voters who stayed back in their native villages in the assembly segment even after the signing of the quadripartite pact involving the Centre, the governments of Mizoram and Tripura and tribal leaders, which saw many Brus being permanently resettled in the neighbouring state. Of the 23,600 eligible electors, over 5,000 Bru voters may play a "key role as will around 2,000 voters belonging to Chakma and Tripuri tribes in the upcoming elections", said leaders cutting across the party lines.

'We have no interest in Mizoram elections': Resettled Bru families

Hundreds of Bru families from Mizoram, who had migrated and settled in neighbouring Tripura following ethnic clashes, do not bother about the assembly elections in their home state. The 40-member Mizoram assembly goes to the polls on November 7. The names of more than 6,000 Bru voters from nine assembly constituencies in three districts - Mamit, Kolasib and Lunglei - have been deleted from the Mizoram voters' list following their resettlement in Tripura. "We have no interest in Mizoram elections even if some of us had voted there in the last polls. Now, we are permanent residents of Tripura following the 2020 historic accord. It hardly matters to us who comes to power in that state," Charles, secretary of Kaskoupata Bru resettlement village in North Tripura district, told PTI. During the 2018 Mizoram assembly elections, a large number of Bru voters who were then staying in relief camps in Tripura came to their home state and voted at 15 special polling booths created for them in ..
