Chief Minister N Biren and BJP President A Sarda gave a hearty welcome to the five MLAs who left Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and joined the BJP yesterday.
Khumukcham Joykisan (Thangmeiband AC), Ngursanglur Sanate (Tipai-mukh AC), Md Achab Uddin (Jiribam AC), Thangjam Arunkumar (Wangkhei AC), and LM Khaute (Churachandpur AC) are the five JD-U MLAs who have joined the BJP.
The five MLAs have shown their support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National President JP Nadda by joining BJP, according to Chief Minister N Biren, who was speaking at the reception ceremony.
Notably, the Assembly Secretariat stated in a bulletin yesterday that the five MLAs’ joining the BJP after leaving the JD-U did not conflict with the Indian Constitution’s 10th Schedule.
In the most recent State Assembly election, JD-U garnered six seats.
There is currently only one MLA for the party in the Manipur Legislative Assembly because five of them had joined the BJP.
As of right present, the only JD-U MLA in the State is Md. Abdul Nasir (Lilong AC). According to N Biren, all five of the MLAs have been BJP supporters for a few years now.
The five MLAs have publicly declared their allegiance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National President JP Nadda, Biren stated.
The five MLAs are currently anticipating JP Nadda’s arrival in Delhi from Haryana, along with the chief minister N Biren and the head of the BJP in Manipur Pradesh, A Sardar.
Once JP Nadda arrives in Delhi, another celebration would be held in honour of the five MLAs, according to sources.
The five MLAs’ reasons for leaving the party and joining the BJP would be discussed during the National Executive Meeting.
The discussion during the conference is also likely to center on potential responses to the five deserters.
