After his expulsion from BJP, Chongtham Bijoy Singh said he would support the JD(U) candidate from Uripok in the upcoming assembly elections.
The Manipur BJP has expelled its chief spokesperson, Chongtham Bijoy Singh, for six years for violating the party's rules and regulations, days after he had called the National People's Party (NPP) a "parasite that had proved a menace" to the ruling coalition in the past five years.
After his expulsion from the saffron camp, Mr Singh said he would support JD(U) candidate from Uripok Kh Suresh in the upcoming assembly elections as he wanted to contest the polls from there.
He said the BJP did not nominate him from the assembly segment as he is fighting against corruption.
"I was denied a party ticket as I was vocal against corruption. I was expelled without serving any show-cause notice. The expulsion was due to the vested interest of the state president. I will support Janata Dal (United) candidate in Uripok," he told reporters on Friday.
He took to X to share his distress, describing the situation as "painful to watch" especially since he was in the US and unable to personally intervene.
