IMPHAL, May 31: People will decide the fates of their constituencies during the expected bye-elections, disqualified Thangmeiband MLA Kh Joykishan said regarding the seats left vacant following the disqualification of three MLAs including himself.

He was speaking at the BJP Manipur Pradesh office after joining the party.

Joykishan said with the people`™s support, he hopes to retain the seat, but in case the people fail to support him, he would go away from the people of his constituency.

He said soon after hearing of the Speaker`™s verdict against the three MLAs, people told him not to take the case to the court and to fight the bye-election as they were with him.

People told me they were ready for fresh poll and that we will defeat the verdict through election, Joykishan said.

Fresh polls would be a fight between the people and the Congress not between candidates, Joykishan asserted.

The disqualification is directly depriving the people of the three constituencies of development and welfare, he continued.

Joykishan continued although some MLAs had suggested him to take the Speaker`™s verdict to court, he felt it was a good opportunity to challenge and fight the Congress which has deprive the people of any development in the past 13 years or so.

Now it is for the people to decide who their right representative is, he said.

Joykishan said he wanted to join BJP and follow Narendra Modi`™s principle and eradicate corruption from the State.

Today, three `knights`™ have joined the BJP to fight the corrupted Congress, he claimed.

He further appealed to the people to join the BJP and strengthen it. Joykishan also showered support to the BJP candidates for the June 1 ADC election.
