10 of 11 turncoats who joined BJP post big wins in Arunachal polls
Ten of the 11 MLAs who initially won the 2019 assembly elections under Congress and other parties' banners but later joined the BJP, achieved significant victories in the Arunachal Pradesh assembly polls. Opposition parties claim these MLAs switched sides due to "intimidation" from the BJP and to secure their positions. However, BJP in-charge for Arunachal Pradesh, Ashok Singhal, stated they joined the BJP voluntarily.
