IMPHAL, May 31: The State government is trying to divert the public`™s concern from the various serious issues confronting the State at the moment by victimising us (three MLAs), claimed recently disqualified MLA of Wangoi Assembly Constituency Oinam Lukhoi today.
Soon after joining the BJP, Lukhoi said the Ibobi led Congress government has taken advantage of a family conflict in the Trinamool Congress.
He questioned why the Speaker chose to announce the verdict of their disqualification when the State is burning on the issue of land encroachment at Dzuko Valley from the Nagaland side.
The issue was an inner conflict of the Trinamool Congress regarding the party`™s State president which had already been amicably solved within the party, he said. At the same time following the development, they had already submitted their applications seeking withdrawal of the case, Lukhoi continued.
However, the Speaker announced the verdict which had been reserved for a long time and all these were done under the guidance of Chief Minister Ibobi, he alleged.
He continued why the Speaker is keeping the case of five MSCP MLAs joining the Congress still pending.
It is now much better to fight the bye-election and get elected again instead of taking the Speaker`™s verdict to the court, he continued.
The people of Wangoi are ready to challenge the Congress in fresh election, he said.
He said it is the right time to join the BJP and fight against corruption.
