The Janata Dal-United (JD-U), which had secured six seats in the Manipur Assembly polls, has decided to support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, which is likely to be sworn-in soon. All the six JD(U) MLAs, who had rushed to Bihar on Friday, have met with the Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) national president Nitish Kumar. This is for the first time that the JD(U) has opened an account with six MLAs in Manipur.
A memorandum issued by Mohammad Nisar, national office secretary of the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), says that K. Joykishan and Ngursandhur Sinate have been appointed leader and the deputy leader of the JD(U) Legislature Party. The notice further says that in the larger interest of the people, it has been decided that the party will extend support to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Manipur.
Though a formal notification is awaited, the Naga People’s Party is expected to extend support to the Manipur Government.
