NEW DELHI, Sep 16: The Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh plunged into a fresh crisis on Friday as all 42 of its legislators joined a regional outfit, two months after the party’s administration was restored by the Supreme Court.
This is the second time in seven months that the Peoples Party of Arunachal (PPA) has been gifted a government in the frontier state. The first time was in March when a rebel Congress government led by Kalikho Pul, who walked out of the party with 24 MLAs and merged with the regional party.
“This is a homecoming for our PPA leaders after a temporary self-exile,” Kameng Ringu, chairman of PPA, said.
