Congress CM joins People’s Party of Arunachal Pradesh along with 43 MLAs

In a shocker for Congress, all but one of its MLAs, including Chief Minister Pema Khandu, on Friday joined the People’s Party of Arunachal Pradesh and the party faces the prospect of losing its government.

Sources said Khandu, who two months ago became chief minister in a development that restored the Congress government, along with 43 Congress MLAs joined the PPA and virtually converted it into a PPA government.
