BJP MLA and Spokesperson Rajkumari Thapa has refuted the rumours of all former SDF legislators leaving the saffron party while talking to media.

She has stated that these are rumors fuelled by some vested interest that wants to misguide the people of the state with an aim for personal benefit and further asked people not to pay any heed to such rumours and remain alert.

Touching upon soon to be held organizational elections of BJP she thanked the current BJP state President DB Chauhan for successful completion of his term while stating that decision of the party would be respected by all.

Stating that the current SKM government has not fulfilled the promises and expectations of the people in an orderly way, she said that there has not been accelerated work by the present government in collective issues of state and its people terming their performance as “not satisfactory”.

Further, she also stated that BJP and SKM had fought the bypolls in an alliance which registered a win in the three seats. However, post-elections BJP MLAs signature has not been considered by the government for any recommendation of the constitution while asking for SKM’s constituency Incharge, she alleged.

“We are elected by the people and such a system was never seen before,” she held while also mentioning about token issued by the previous government which has a range of benefits yet to be distributed to the public.
