Imphal, October 14 2016:
BJP Heingang Mandal has appealed to the party’s leadership not to allow former Congress MLA N Biren to join the party.
Incidentally, there are two BJP Mandals in Heignang AC.
While one was formed under the aegis of BJP Manipur Pradesh former president Th Chaoba , the second Mandal was formed at the initiative of incumbent president Ksh Bhabananda .
It is the first Mandal formed under the aegis of Th Chaoba which is opposing Biren’s entry into the party.
Its general secretary L Lalitkumar said that it is their Mandal which has been working to strengthen BJP in Heingang AC.
The other Mandal did nothing for the party, he alleged.
BJP leadership should not give party ticket to N Biren nor should he be allowed to join BJP, he said.
BJP Manipur Pradesh executive member P Saratchandra said that the party welcomes all the people who are seeking the party ticket.
There is no harm for the party leadership to give tickets to candidates of their choice.
Nonetheless, he expressed keen desire for the party leadership to give party tickets to only those candidates with integrity who are not corrupt and free from criminal tendency.
