The protestors said when they expected the party to field one of its grassroots workers in the seat, it decided against contesting and support the NPF candidate.The BJP had on Friday stated that it would extend its support to the candidates of NPF in the Outer Manipur seat, National People’s Party (NPP) in the Shillong and Tura seats in Meghalaya and Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) in the lone seat in Nagaland.
