Imphal: Senior Naga People’s Front (NPF) leader W Morung Makunga of Tengnoupal constituency Tuesday tendered his resignation from the primary membership of the party after his name did not feature in the list of 10 candidates selected for the upcoming Manipur assembly polls.
As per reliable sources, Makunga has joined the Indian National Congress on Wednesday after he was invited by the party.
In his resignation letter to the NPF president, Makunga, who was also an advisor to the party chief, stated that despite his political views being in alignment with the political vision of the NPF, the manner of selection of some candidates to represent the party in the Manipur state elections portrays the use of arbitrary power that is both ‘unfair and unwarranted.’
