Sept 03,2022:In a major development in Manipur politics, five of six Janata Dal (United) MLAs “merged” themselves with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday. The development comes as a major setback to the JD(U) and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who has been fostering national ambition for the 2024 election.
In a bulletin issued last night, Manipur Assembly Secretary K Meghajit Singh said Speaker Thokchom Satyabrata Singh has accepted the merger of the five JDU MLAs under the 10th Schedule of the Constitution of India.
