Lyngdoh added that the UDP is also getting feelers from other party leaders who are considering joining the party.
Further he said that there is no chance that any of any of the UDP MLAs would be jumping ship to other parties. He said that all their current MLAs would be contesting the next state polls from their party only. The party would be making efforts to make its presence felt in the state.
