Talking to reporters at her residence in Malpe last night, she said that she believed the deal was not harmful to the country. Therefore she preferred to abstain from voting as she could not go against the party’s whip to vote against the motion, Manorama said.
On the party’s decision to expel her, she said she was not bothered by it. However, Manorama said she had not received any communication from the party about the action.
She said she had decided not to contest in the next parliamentary elections and would continue to support the movement against the Nagarjuna Termal Power Project (NTPP) in the district.
Manorama was among the eight BJP Lok Sabha members whom the party expelled for voting in favour of the UPA Government during the confidence motion.
