Arunachal: PPA suspends Likabali MLA Kardo Nicyor

The People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) has put its Likabali MLA Kardo Nicyor under suspension with immediate effect for indulging in anti-party activities. “This drastic step has been taken to curtail defections of any kind prevailing in state politics and to bolster a strong opposition bench,” the party stated in a release.

“Based on authentic proof of anti party activities by the sitting MLA of the party Kardo Nyigyor representing 28-Likabali (ST) Assembly Constituency, the party is left with  no alternative but to place him under suspension with immediate effect,” PPA president Kahfa Bengia declared in the statement. 

The legislator’s suspension from the PPA comes amid the ongoing electioneering for the Panchayat polls, scheduled to be held on December 22.
