In an exclusive conversation, Dr. K. Beichhua, who is the newly appointed president of the Mizoram Pradesh BJP, shared the vision and strategy that hold significant importance to the party. Dr. K. Beichhua has served as a general practitioner and later as senior medical professional at major hospitals in Mizoram.

Q: You are the first sitting MLA to hold the position of BJP state president in Mizoram. What is your vision for developing the party in your tenure to make it more acceptable to the masses?

A. Dr. K. Beichhua: First of all, we have to create a grassroots revival. We have to visit all our blocks and units at the district/village level and create a strong organisational presence. Second, we have to create coordination and improve cooperation at all organisational levels. Third and most importantly, we have to counter the Congress' propaganda, which paints the BJP as an anti-Christian party. Finally, we have to educate the people about the Prime Minister's policy and how it could benefit them. This way, I think we will be able to convince the Mizo people that the BJP is the only party that can bring a developmental change in Mizoram, not the regional parties.

Q: There are apprehensions for the party in certain quarters. What is your strategy to expand the party's influence in a predominantly Christian and opposition-led state, and also correct the perception of the BJP as "anti-Christian" raised by the Opposition parties?
