Imphal, September 13 2016:
After Wangkhei AC MLA Yumkham Erabot left Congress party and joined BJP, Congress members of the Assembly segment have decided to quit Wangkhei Block Congress Committee.
Speaking to media persons at the residence of Erabot, Wangkhei Block Congress Committee vice-president Th Ibopishak said that members of the block have submitted resignation letters to the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) to join Wangkhei BJP Mandal.
MLA Joykishan who was also present at the press meet announced that the BJP Manipur Pradesh president has approved Erabot's membership in BJP.
Claiming that Congress party has been completely uprooted from Wangkhei AC, the MLA said that if any one is still supporting Congress party in Wangkhei AC, it amounts to supporting drug smuggling.
Erabot's landmark step indicated his determination to save youngsters from the jaws of drug smugglers.
Kingpins of all the drug cartels operating in Manipur are all relatives of top Government officials and leaders of the Congress party, alleged the MLA.
This implied that the incumbent Government supports drug smugglers.
If the State should be spared from the menace of drugs, everybody should stop supporting Congress party, Joykishan asserted.
