Giving his reaction on two Congress MLAs joining BJP, Dr. Kipa Kaha, General Secretary, APCC said that “ in political parties, resignations and joining parties of one’s choice cannot be stopped. Today, the majority of MLAs running the government in Arunachal Pradesh are from the Congress party. Please don’t be disheartened. Politics is a part of the democratic system, and no political party can stop anyone from exercising their fundamental rights. These days, politics lacks morality and ideology. Every day, the BJP is acquiring leaders from the Congress and other political parties. Achi Ninong Ering moving from the Congress party is disheartening for the people of Arunachal Pradesh. It seems that every politician is looking out for their survival, as the common public is seeking money and the ruling party. Such trends were observed during the Congress rule as well” . Kipa wrote in his social media page.
