Maksam Tayeng

PASIGHAT, Mar 19: In a major setback to BJP in 39th Mebo Assembly Constituency here in East Siang district today, almost 90% of BJP office bearers from various morchas tendered their resignations to the State BJP President. 
The mass resignations were tendered in support of their favoured candidate Oken Tayeng who was denied BJP ticket by the BJP high command. 
The grassroot BJP workers were unhappy over giving BJP ticket to Lombo Tayeng, sitting MLA who joined the BJP from Congress recently.
Earlier prior to declaration of BJP MLA ticket of 39th Mebo Assembly Constituency to Lombo Tayeng,  the office bearers and BJP grassroot leaders from Mebo had pleaded to the state BJP high command to consider giving party ticket among aspirants from within BJP, leaving Lombo Tayeng. 
The resigned BJP workers are now joining People's Party of Arunachal (PPA),  a regional and indigenous party from within Arunachal Pradesh and their leader Oken Tayeng has declared to contest from PPA ticket against BJP's Lombo Tayeng.
