SHILLONG: People’s Democratic Front (PDF) candidate from Nartiang, Draison Kharshiing has dismissed speculations about him shifting allegiance to the BJP by maintaining that he is still with the PDF.

This comes in the wake of a rumour that he may have joined the saffron party after he was seen in a picture along with state BJP leader, David Kharsati and BJP in charge of West Jaintia Hills, Khraw Basaiawmoit

Kharshiing said, “No, it is not so. It was an informal meeting with friends who are in the BJP. Although they have requested me to join the BJP party, I have not agreed to do so. I am still with the PDF.”

Although he maintained that he was still with the PDF, he however said that he had not sought the opinion of the supporters about him joining the BJP as he could not make electoral decisions alone.

Meanwhile, Basaiawmoit admitted that the party had requested Kharshiing to join BJP but pointed out that it was up to his free will.

He stated that he had handed over documents that highlight on the functioning of the BJP (as seen in the picture) to Kharshiing.

Again, speaking to PDF president, Ivanlumlang Marbaniang said that he has\d not received any information on Kharshiing joining BJP.
