Beichhua had stated that Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga had asked him to resign from the cabinet for a proposed reshuffle in the ministry.
He is also accused of manipulating at least three MNF MADC members, which was instrumental in overthrowing the MNF-Congress coalition in the autonomous council in November last year.
Eventually, with the backing of the three MNF members, the BJP successfully toppled the MNF-Congress government in MADC.
However, Beichhua expressed disappointment over his expulsion from the MNF saying that he wasn’t even served a show-cause notice or being sought an explanation.
