Imphal: Days after a former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Soibam Subhaschandra accused Congress legislators of forcing him to sign a resignation letter from the party last month, former chief minister of Manipur and Congress leader Okram Ibobi Singh on Friday refuted the claim and said that his party had never forced any MLA to resign from any party.
Ibobi, in a press conference, rejected the baseless allegation of Subhaschandra on his resignation being forced by Congress and stated that he joined the Congress party on his own will without the influence of the state Opposition party.
Subhaschandra was one of the three BJP MLAs who had resigned from the party along with four National People’s Party (NPP) and two other MLAs on June 17 that had almost crumbled the N Biren Singh-led coalition government in Manipur.
