Manipur BJP leader Elangbam Johnson quit the saffron party today, citing the state government’s “failure” to honour the aspirations of the people.
Addressing a press conference, Elangbam, who fought the 2022 assembly elections on a BJP ticket, said he gave up the party’s state spokesperson post.
“Since May 3, 2023, we have been unable to go in the direction of the people’s wishes. After discussion with my workers in Keisamthong, I have decided to quit the BJP. I am tendering my resignation from the state spokesperson post and giving up party membership,” he said.
Elangbam stated that the government’s inability to respond effectively to public expectations following the outbreak of ethnic violence in Manipur was the primary reason behind his resignation.
