Several former MLAs set to join BJP

Shillong, Feb 17: Some former MLAs from Trinamool Congress and the Congress are expected to join the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
A media report had erroneously mentioned that sitting MLAs from the TMC and the Congress will join the BJP but it turned out to be former MLAs.

TMC Legislature Party Leader Mukul Sangma said the report must be referring to former MLAs and not the sitting legislators.
State Congress president and sitting Shillong MP Vincent Pala said former MLAs of any party are free to join anywhere.
Sources said that former MLAs Winnerson Sangma ( AITC) and Francis Pondit Sangma (ex- Cong MLA) among others are likely to jon the BJP.
