BREAKING | Arunachal BJP General Secretary Jarpum Gamlin resigns from party

Itanagar, March 18, 2019:

In a major setback to the BJP party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections as well as Assembly elections (to be held on April 11), Jarpum Gamlin, state General Secretary of the BJP in Arunachal Pradesh has resigned from the primary membership of the party after he was snubbed by the party and not given a ticket to contest the upcoming Assembly Elections in the state of Arunachal Pradesh.

In a resignation letter to Arunachal Pradesh state President Tapir Gao, he wrote: “I have been working closely with the public of 27-Liromoba Assembly Constituency, as a contender for the ensuing Assembly Elections 2019. The party is well aware of this. However, as the party has announced the ticket which is not in my favour, I am in a precarious position torn between the party and my supporters. After much thought, I have decided that I cannot let down the expectations of my supporters who have reposed faith in me.”
