Guwahati, August 19, 2020: Five ex-Congress MLAs of Manipur, who recently resigned from the state assembly and the party, joined the ruling BJP on Wednesday in the presence of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.
Welcoming them in the party, BJP general secretary and the party’s pointsman for the northeast Ram Madhav said there is no threat to the Biren Singh government in Manipur now.
It will not only complete it’s tenure but will be re-elected, he said.
The Chief Minister had arrived in Delhi with the former Congress MLAs who resigned both from the party and the assembly after skipping the trust vote proceedings in defiance of a party whip.
The BJP-led government had won the Monday trust vote 28-16.
