The people’s Party of Arunachal ( PPA ) seized the powers of party president Kahfa Bengia and general secretary Kaling Jerang for one week, informed Party chairman Kameng Ringu. The decision was taken after an announcement made by APCC president for Pre-poll alliance between Congress and PPA.
Addressing a press conference at Arunachal Press Club, Ringu informed that, this was only a casual discussion with Party President and General secretary, not the party decision. Congress wrongly announced about the pre-poll alliance with PPA. t
It must be mentioned here that APCC president Takam Sanjoy on Tuesday last had announced that INC and PPA would have a pre-poll alliance in the state.
