Mary Kom To Join BJP ?
The Wire | Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty | Oct 19
Soon after the name of M.C. Mary Kom featured in the list of Rajya Sabha members who were nominated by the Narendra Modi government in April, rumours about her joining the BJP began to build. Manipur, Kom’s home state, is set to go to the polls early next year. The BJP is keen to grab power from Congress after its good showing in Assam in May.
Speculations were rife that the BJP will use Kom to enhance its appeal among Manipur’s voters – particularly those in the hill districts. Kom belongs to a small tribe in the hill district of Churachandpur. On October 17, the rumours gained traction after Kom met Himanta Biswa Sarma, the convener of the BJP’s North East Democratic Alliance, in Imphal.
