Opposition Congress in Manipur on Monday filed disqualification petitions against four National People’s Party (NPP) MLAs for extending support to the BJP-led government, despite the party officially severing ties with the ruling front two months ago. Manipur Congress vice-president Hareshwar Goshwami filed four different petitions against the MLAs at the Speaker’s Tribunal of the state assembly, the petitioner’s advocate N Bupenda Meitei told reporters.
“My client has filed the petitions against four NPP legislators for extending support to the BJP-led government in the state. They had joined a meeting convened for the ruling MLAs by the chief minister,” he said.
