Thoubal,Sept.27:
A protest meeting regarding the Personal & Politicking Reshuffle was held yesterday at the office of BJP Heirok Mandal. Speaking at the gathering, Heirok Zilla Parishad Upa-Adakshya Member T.Nungshi Singh stated that in the present political scenario, the step taken by Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren who is also the leader of the house of reshuffling the cabinet ministers is an apparent attempt to wipe out BJP from the state. He further said that the decision of the CM is apparently a personal one and the timing of the reshuffle leaves much to be desired, with 12 MLAs appointed as parliamentary secretaries by N Biren having to let their political career hang in a limbo through a Manipur High Court ruling against the creation of such post, and the by election of 5 parliamentary constituencies around the corner. Dropping Radheshyam from the cabinet minister’s post is a clear display of the rural-urban divide, and is against the spirit of the “Go to Village” ‘’School Phagathansi’’ flagship programme, Nungshi continued. The speaker also alleged that CM Biren have made the ‘’ Beti Bachao Beti Padao’’ campaign spearheaded by PM Modi redundant in his effort to save his post, and that the CM have evidently failed to properly understand or follow the ideology of BJP, and is compromising the party ideology by indulging in horse trading, suggesting that the only remedy is to change his mindset.
BJP Heirok mandal President Thokchom Chourjit also said that the act of removing the post of minister from MLA Radheshyam who has been working tirelessly to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s New Education Policy 2020 during this challenging times as well as make provisions for educated returnees including students and skilled workers to provide opportunities for gainful employment is an act of standing against the policies by CM Biren which also indicates the Chief Minister’s lack of understanding of the value of education.
The gathering also resolved to support MLA Dr Radheshyam in all his decisions.
