Sagolband AC MLA and MPCC general secretary RK Imo has said that selection of candidates for the party tickets is the responsibility of the State Election Committee and no party leader and worker must leave the party on the issue if they love the party.
Speaking to reporters at his Sagolband residence, RK Imo said that the news of leaving Congress party by Sagolband Block Congress Committee executives was wrong.
The president and three vice-presidents are still with the party although the secretary and joint secretary have left the party along with former MLA Kh Loken, Imo said.
The MLA further said that no executive of Block Youth Congress except the president has deserted the party.
For Mahila Congress as well, no executive except president and secretary has left the party, RK Imo said.
Saying that no party worker and leader must leave Congress due to discontentment on ticket distribution if they really love the party, RK Imo said that Congress would never become weak due to the departure of a few workers and executives.
Ward No 10 member Wangkhem Devaraj said that he won the last IMC election on Congress ticket under the patronage of former MLA Kh Loken.
However, this time, he has decided to contest the election with support from MLA RK Imo, Devaraj said.
Sagolband Block Congress Committee vice-president Thounaojam Brajamani said that majority of the workers and executives of BCC are still with the party.
