ITANAGAR, May 31:   Janata Dal-United state unit has resolved to extend unconditional support to the Pema Khandu led BJP government from outside.  The decision of the state JD-U was shared by its Legislature Party leader Techi Kaso here today.
Kaso said that the decision has been taken after consultation with the party’s national chief Nitish Kumar. He added that state JD-U team will be supporting the BJP government from outside with no conditions and demands from the present government. Our support to the state BJP government is as per the order received from the central head of the party, he said.
Meanwhile, spokesperson of JD-U state unit and MLA Chayang Tajo, Hayeng Mangfi said that although the party has not officially submitted any letter to the state BJP on this issue, it will be supporting the current government’s policies and programmes. When questioned on the acceptance of their alliance by the BJP, Mangfi said that it’s on them (BJP) to decide over the matter. JD-U is an alliance with NDA and accordingly the JD-U chief has suggested us to support the state BJP unconditionally and externally, he added.
“Being the elected legislator from my constituency, I will receive all constitutional privileges to look after my people which can’t be denied by any political party,” he said while adding that neither he nor any of his party colleagues will be demanding anything more than that.
When asked about the possibility of any meeting with the Chief Minister regarding the issue, Mangfi refrained from making a comment.
