MANIPUR: Four Congress legislators on Friday joined the ruling BJP in Manipur. Sumatibala Nongthoujam, President of the Mahila Morcha of Manipur Pradesh BJP, told PTI that the Congress MLAs who joined the BJP were Ngamthang Haokip, Y Surchandra Singh, S Bira Singh MLA and O Lukhoi Singh.
They were accorded a warm welcome at a function at Manipur Pradesh BJP office here. The function was attended by Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh, Assam Finance Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma and President of Manipur state BJP Ksh Bhabananda Singh, among others.
Earlier, Congress MLAs Th Shyamkumar Singh and Ginsuanhau had joined the BJP after the last Assembly elections.
Meanwhile, former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Ministers P K Thungon and Nabam Tuki have called upon the North East Congress Coordination Committee (NECCC) to come up with a strategy to take on the BJP which has allegedly failed to deliver its promises.
Thungon and Tuki said this while addressing the first-ever meeting of NECCC in New Delhi on Thursday, a party release said here Friday.
Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee President Takam Sanjoy said that the state governments in the North East feared that they would not get funds while BJP was in power at the Centre.
“The shifting of loyalty of Congress MLAs to BJP in Arunachal Pradesh in the name of getting development package from the Centre is just an excuse. The fact is that the present state government is unable to bring any development packages and schemes till date from the Centre,” he said. (PTI)
