BJP joins Khandu govt in Arunachal Pradesh

After staying behind the curtains during the entire period of political turmoil in Arunachal Pradesh, the BJP has finally decided to join the People’s Party of Arunachal-led government.

Arunachal Pradesh Governor V Shanmuganathan on Friday administered the oath of office and secrecy to BJP MLA Tamiyo Taga, who became a member of the Pema Khandu Cabinet.

The saffron party was lending outside support to the Khandu-led government.

All this while, the state BJP refrained from joining the government, but recently the national leadership gave a go-ahead, paving the way for the state unit to join the government.

In all likelihood, three more BJP MLAs would be inducted in the Khandu Cabinet soon, BJP sources said.
