Imphal, January 22 2017:
Even as the finalised first list of BJP candidates for the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly election has been published in the media, two Congress MLAs are likely to join BJP and fight the forthcoming election on BJP tickets.
The two Congress MLAs who are likely to fight the forthcoming election on BJP tickets are Nemcha Kipgen (Kangpokpi AC) and Vungzagin Valte (Thanlon AC), sources informed.
Nemcha Kipgen was elected in the 10th State Assembly election on MSCP ticket but MSCP later merged with the Congress along with all their elected MLAs.

Vungzagin Valte elected from Thanlon AC on Congress ticket is also a Parliamentary Secretary under the Ibobi Government.
Regarding the proposed entry of Vungzagin and Nemcha into the party, BJP held a meeting at Guwahati yesterday with National general secretary Ram Madhav.
The meeting decided to recommend the names of Nemcha and Vungzagin to the party's Parliamentary Board for issuing party tickets, said the sources.
As such, it is expected that Vungzagin and Nemcha would definitely get BJP tickets.
Another Congress MLA representating an Assembly segment of the valley of which no BJP candidate had been finalised was also seeking BJP ticket.
But the meeting held at Guwahati yesterday could not take a final decision on the matter.
Meanwhile, another source informed that BJP candidates for 22 other Assembly segments including those of hill districts have been finalised.
Taking into account the finalised list of 32 candidates already published in media, BJP has so far finalised names of 54 candidates for the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly election.
