Imphal: Former MLA of Hiyangalam Assembly constituency, E. Dwijamani Singh, who was suspended from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has joined the Congress just days after his suspension from the primary membership for six months.
K Saratkumar, General Secretary of the BJP, revealed in a telephonic conversation with the Assam Tribune that the ruling party had prior knowledge of E. Dwijamani’s engagement in anti-party activities and his potential move to join the opposition Congress.
Consequently, the party decided to suspend him from the primary membership for six years on the 15th of this month.
Two days later, on April 17th, E. Dwijamani formally joined the opposition party at Congress Bhavan in the presence of three-time Chief Minister and CLP leader O I Ibobi Singh, PCC President K Meghachandra, and other party members. The Congress Party organized a reception function for E. Dwijamani Singh, declaring it a moral victory for the party ahead of the Lok Sabha election, scheduled to be held on April 19.
