Kakching, December 27 2021:
While claiming that he got involved with BJP for some time to save Kakching A/C, ex-MLA Yengkhom Surchandra has said that he was elected as a Congress MLA and will continue to contest the upcoming state assembly election as candidate of Congress party.
He was speaking during presentation of gifts to elders, widows and differently abled people and extending monetary aid to self-help groups of Kakching Chumnang Leikai at Kakching Chumnang Leikai community hall on Sunday.
Clarifying that he joined BJP for some time so as to save Kakching AC and to prevent shifting of Kakching district headquarters to Waikhong, Surchandra reminded that he sat with Opposition Congress despite joining BJP.
Congress also has never expelled him till now.
As such, he is still a member of Congress, the MLA reasoned.
Surchandra appealed to the people to elect candidate who could bring development in Kakching AC and could sacrifice for the welfare of people.
