But the present BJP led Government would like to continue a person of Disrepute as MD, on contract basis/service extension after his retirement from MSPCL, who was also having close association with the earlier Government led by Congress, even worked as the Head of the Department (HOD) before unbundling of Electricity Department, Manipur (EDM) in the year 2014 and work as MD in MSPCL, one of the present 2(two) Power Companies of Manipur, but after much persuasions for unbundling from your Government in different occasions in the Ministry of Power, Government of India.
The Foundation also stated that the delay of the RGGVY/DDUGJY Schemes in Manipur and not awarding of Contract works/Supply orders to L-1 were a matter of concerned and were the handiwork of such person of these Power Companies of Manipur also against the Guideline of CVC’s Office Order No 68/10/05.

Under the same joint Electricity Regulatory Commission of Manipur and Mizoram, JERC(M&M), the Consumer of Manipur State has been paying more Electricity Charges than that of the Mizoram State in the preceding years.
For a brief reference Manipur State (BJP-led Government) Proposed for (2018-19), power tariff, much higher than that of Mizoram State (Congress-led Government) under the same Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission of Manipur and Mizoram, JERC(M&M)
The 2(two) Power Companies of Manipur i.e. (a) Manipur State Power Company Limited (MSPCL) & (b) Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL) increased/kept more number of employees than that of the required employees through New Recruitments (2017) recently, just before the departure of the Congress led Government, inspite of having high ration of Employees Vs Consumers in their Power Companies resulting to the increase in high Employee Cost – a burden to the Consumers and against UDAY Scheme.
In the light of above Circumstances and timely Implementation of your Schemes, a requirement of the Nation, it is right time of Depute Suitable Technical hands from any Central Power Sector of CPSE, having worked in any Miniratna Companies/Navratna Companies/Maharatna Companies/CEA, for the completion of the Schemes for enable a Hassle free State, in both the Power Companies of Manipur i.e. (a) Manipur State Power Company Limited (MSPCL) & (b) Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL).
