IMPHAL, October 16: BJP Manipur Pradesh president Th Chaoba today charged the State government led by Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh of being a tainted government reeling under several scams and scandals.
He was speaking at a formal reception function of two newly enrolled members of the BJP Manipur held at the party`™s State office.
The two new members are former vice president of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress Wangoi Constituency Naorem Rabei Singh and former general secretary of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress Yaishkul Constituency Khumanthem Jiken Singh.
Speaking at the function, Chaoba condemned the government for remaining silent on the verdict passed by the High Court of Manipur cancelling appointment of around 1400 primary teachers.
Charging the government of maintaining silence on the court verdict, he questioned whether the State government was disrespecting the court.
He further demanded an immediate clarification from the government on its silence on the issue.
Chaoba also lauded the newly joined members of the party and said the increasing number of the party`™s members means it is growing in strength and that people want a change in the society.
Meanwhile, falsifying charges from some sections about the BJP party elections being discontinued midway, the party`™s State unit general secretary L Basanta said the charges were made to show the party in a bad light.
He said the election will continue, but it has been temporary stalled as the verification of the enrolment list is underway as double entry of many members is detected.
