Bakin Pertin: Difference between revisions

Baking Pertin was opposed to the merger of People Party of Arunachal Pradesh to Janata Dal. He cried in the meeting held at the State Guest House, Naharlagun. Despite his objection the PPA was merged to Janata Dal in fear of Apang Congress merging with the Janta Dal Party. In this merger meeting Tomo Riba was made the President of Janata Dal Party in Arunachal Pradesh. It is pertinant to mention Railway Minister George Fernandes advised both Bakin and Tomo not to join Janata Dal Party. General Secretaries which included Dagmojini, Jarbom Gamlin and most of the senior leaders of PPA wanted to merge with the Janata Dal of VP Singh. The split seems inevitable if Bakin did not agree to the merger. <ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=oBovAAAAYAAJ Election Archives and International Politics]'', Eds. 175–176;&nbsp;Eds. 179–184.
