Imphal, Oct 20: Manipur Power, Forest and Environment, Agriculture minister Thongam Biswajit has denied the speculation that there will be leadership change in Manipur.
Talking to media persons Thongam Biswajit said, “I have no knowledge of any such occurrences and I am not an expert to say or comment about the matter.”
“I have no information about any leadership transition or the two-page memorandum that has been mentioned in the media. I cannot confirm the validity of the letter, as I lack the expertise to do so,” he said.
According to reports, around 19 BJP MLAs have moved the Central leadership seeking replacement of chief minister N. Biren Singh.
There is speculation that a letter was submitted to the Prime Minister’s office recently by disgruntled MLAs. Leaked portions of the said letter showed the first signatures as that of Speaker Th Satyabrata, Ministers Bishwajit and Y Khemchand.
The letter stated that “At this juncture, the people of Manipur are raising questions to us, in particular the BJP led government, as to why peace and normalcy cannot be restored, and plight of people could not be alleviated yet.”
