Itanagar, June 17 (SocialNews.XYZ) All three Independent MLAs in the Arunachal Pradesh Assembly on Monday extended their unconditional support to the BJP government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu.
BJP sources said that the Independent MLAs -- Tenzin Nyima Glow (Thrizino-Buragaon), Laisam Simai (Nampong) and Wanglam Sawin (Khonsa East) -- conveyed their decision through a letter of support to the Khandu-led government.
Later, the Chief Minister said in a post on X: “Heartfelt thanks to Independent MLAs Shri Laisam Simai Ji, Shri Wanglam Sawin Ji, and Shri Tenzin Nima Glow Ji for extending their support to the BJP government in Arunachal Pradesh.”
“Your decision, as conveyed through your letter of support, underscores your dedication to the state's development. Together, we will continue to work for the development and prosperity of Arunachal Pradesh. Thank you for your trust and support,” Khandu added.
Sawin and Simai were re-elected from their Assembly constituencies while Tenzin Nima Glow emerged victorious from the Thrizino-Buragaon Assembly seat in West Kameng district, defeating two-time BJP MLA Kumsi Sidisow by a margin of 400 votes.
