Imphal, September 24 2015:
Heavyweights and veterans of electoral politics namely O Joy, former Chief Minister Radhabinod Koijam as well as former DGP Y Joykumar have joined BJP and their memberships have been approved by the party's National executive member and Manipur in-charge Prafulla Prahlad Patel.
Radhabinod, Joy and Joykumar are listed against serial numbers 50, 123 and 57 respectively in the party's active membership list for 2015-20 released by enrolment in-charge and former president Sh Shantikumar.
But party president Th Chaoba asserted that the membership list was invalid as it needed verification.

Nonetheless, Sh Shantikumar contended that he took up the enrolment drive as he was appointed enrolment in-charge by the party's central leadership.
He maintained that he did not need to take permission from the party's State unit president for the enrolment drive.
At one instance, heated altercation took place between Sh Shantikumar and Th Chaoba over the matter.
Meanwhile, BJP's Manipur in-charge and Lok Sabha MP Prafulla Prahlad Patel arrived here today to make an assessment of the State's unit organisational activities and launch a loan campaign of Micro Unit Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA) at Imphal tomorrow.
Prafulla held a meeting with BJP workers at the party's State unit office this evening and discussed about the controversies regarding membership enrolment.
According to information received by press, Prafulla reportedly stated that the party has no objection to the members enrolled in the course of the enrolment drive undertaken by Sh Shantikumar.
The Chaoba too said that he has no objection.
Prafulla Prahlad would attend a public function at Kakwa community hall tomorrow morning where he would felicitate O Joy apart from formally announcing the BJP membership of the veteran politician.
