Imphal, September 26 2014 :
The by-poll to Hiyanglam A/C which could have been won by BJP quite easily would no longer be so because of the internal wranglings, remarked former BJP spokesman Thongam Bijoy who also contested in the 1995 Manipur Legislative Assembly Election in Uripok A/C .
Speaking to some media persons at his Lamphelpat residence this evening, Ch Bijoy said that it would be wiser on the part of BJP Manipur Pradesh president Th Chaoba to retire from active politics in view of the internal crisis gripping the party.
BJP founder members and heavyweights like LK Advani, MM Joshi etc have been transferred as advisors of the party.
In line with these change over, it would be prudent for the BJP unit president to retire from active politics, added Bijoy.
BJP is a cadre-based, value-based political party which is different from other parties.
It is too late for Th Chaoba to learn about the party.
It would not do anything good if Chaoba continues as the party's State unit president.
By election to Hiyanglam Assembly Constituency has been necessitated by the demise of then sitting MLA Maibam Kunjo.
