K Saratkumar also refuted certain rumours regarding him not receiving the party ticket, stating that he would never question the party leaders on who they believed deserved the ticket.
He further clarified that he did not become a member of BJP with the motive of joining another party should he fail to receive a BJP ticket.
Rather, he shared that he was inspired by the various State and Central schemes and initiatives taken by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Chief Minister of Manipur which led him to foster the hope of working for the people of the State, not just Jiribam, if he successfully became an MLA.
He reiterated his stand of not joining another rival political party to contest in the ensuing 12th Legislative Assembly election.
He further added that he had no authority to comment on the fairness of who received a BJP ticket and who didn't when the pros and cons from the district level, to the state level and further national level had already been discussed by the parliamentary board.
He continued to say that he would remain as a member of the BJP and continue to work for the people of Manipur until he eventually retires from politics altogether.
Until then, he would not join any other political party, he affirmed.
