Imphal, December 05 2018:
BJP Manipur State Unit has questioned why MLA Joykisan has many errors in the election affidavit if he is very much knowledgeable about the Constitution.
Speaking to media persons at the BJP office at Canchipur today, the party spokesperson Ch Bijoy said that MLA Joykisan still has an election petition filed against him at the High Court of Manipur by Jotin Waikhom.
Alleging the presence of various minor errors in the election affidavit submitted by Joykisan, Bijoy asked how the Congress MLA missed all the errors if he is knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of the Constitution and added that if the Congress MLA can clearly define the requirement for his (Joykisan) challenge for a debate, then the BJP party will gladly accept the challenge.
Bijoy continued that debate among the MLAs should be done inside the Assembly and asked if MLA Joykisan has no idea about this simple fact.
If he wants a debate at the level of Ministers, then does the Congress have any Ministers, he asked.
Challenging the Congress MLA for a personal debate at the level of a spokesperson for a National party, Bijoy announced that the difference between him and Joykisan is that he (Bijoy) belongs to a party in power while Joykisan belongs to a party which is about to disappear.
Speaking about the clarification by AMWJU president in charge Brozendra Ningomba regarding the arrest of Kishorchandra Wangkhem, the BJP spokesperson said that the party need not clarify any further but questioned the reason behind the stubborn defense for Kishorchandra by the Congress MLA.
He then asked the MLA to explain if the statements and words used by Kishorchandra were acceptable.
If it is so, then we will use those same words against the Congress leaders tomorrow, Bijoy added.
He also asked the reason why Kishorchandra was so irritated with organising the Rani of Jhansi event in the State that he had to use those words against the Government.
