His return to Congress has been approved by MPCC president TN Haokip and he was accorded a warm reception at Congress Bhavan here today.
Speaking at the gathering, TN Haokip said that Gotinlam has returned to Congress because he did not want to compromise his ideology.
He went on to assert that many Congress men who have joined BJP and other political parties will certainly come back to Congress party one day or the other as most of them would not like to compromise their ideology.
He said that Gotinlam's return would certainly strengthen Congress party.
Gotinlam pointed out that it was the Congress Government which held ADC election in 2010 after a gap of 20 years with a view to bring democracy and development to the grassroots level in the hill districts.
He was elected to Chandel ADC in 2010 and 2015 on Congress tickets but he joined BJP after the party came to power in the State.
He said that he experienced a lot of mental troubles when he was with BJP.
He said that he could not fit himself within BJP's game of power politics.
