Dimapur, Feb. 15: Altogether 181 BJP office bearers from 3 Dimapur-III comprising the mandal, yuva morcha, minority morcha, ST morcha, mahila morcha and kisan morcha led by its mandal president Akato Chishi have resigned from primary and active membership.
The members have tendered their resignation on Feb. 8 in protest against the alleged indifferent attitude of the party high command in failing to set up the party candidate as an outcome of the pre-poll seat sharing deal with NDPP.
Speaking to media persons this afternoon, the mandal former president Akato Chishi and the former president of ST morcha Vekato Zhimo claimed that the party has bright prospect in the forthcoming election but was eventually thwarted following the seat sharing deal with NDPP.
The two former leaders also informed that similar instances had happened elsewhere in other parts of the state which subsequently led to dissolving of the party mandals.
The leaders shared that pre-seat sharing deal, BJP had shortlisted 49 prospective candidates across the state and was confident of forming the next government.
With the recent development, the aggrieved members from Dimapur-III AC have decided to resign from the active and primary membership.
