Imphal, January 28 2022:
Jiribam AC MLA Md Ashab Uddin has joined the Janata Dal (United) after resigning from the Manipur Legislative Assembly, today.
Apart from him, an intending candidate from Thongju Assembly Constituency Preshyojit Sanglakpam along with his supporters of Thongju Kendra Block Congress Committee have also joined JD (U) .
JD (U) leaders welcomed the new entrants to the party fold during a function held today at Keishamthong Hodam Leirak.
At the function, Md Ashab Uddin said that he submitted his resignation letter to the Speaker of Manipur Legislative Assembly yesterday.
Continuing that he contested the 2017 Assembly election as an Independent, Ashab Uddin continued that he joined JD (U) as he could not fulfil his aspiration as an MLA despite supporting the BJP led coalition Government.
"I joined JD (U) by putting faith in its ideology and the leadership of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar," he added.
Preshyojit, on the other hand, stated that he thought of quitting the election after Congress gave its ticket for Thongju to another person.
Saying that he joined JD (U) as his supporters pressured him to contest the Assembly election, he added that many youth and the poor in his Assembly Constituency are not satisfied with the sitting MLA of Thongju.
" I decided to enter electoral politics so as to solve the problems being faced by the youth in Thongju AC and to develop the Constituency," he said.
Notably, Thangmeiband AC MLA Ksh Joykisan also joined the JD (U) yesterday.
JD (U) Manipur State unit chief general secretary Meisnam Dorendro said that there is a possibility of more MLAs and ex-MLAs joining the party in a few days.
He said that the party will play a crucial role in the next Government formation, he added.
