Imphal, June 26,
The wind in the political theatre of N. Biren Singh led government is not settled yet even as BJP MLAs and Ministers denied any crisis over the demand for change of Chief Minister.
A highly placed source told Imphal Times that the pressure for change of Chief Minister, moved by the dissident has been intensified. The source added that Minister Th. Bishwajit, MLA Subashchandra, MLA Indrajit MLA T.T Haokip, MLA P Sarat and some other BJP MLAs are presently camping at New Delhi since the last couple of days. During the stay the dissidents led by Minister Th. Bishwajit had met some Central leaders of the BJP urging them for change of the Chief Minister.
The situation seems serious this time as the Central leaders are taking the situation as serious one. For reason best known, Speaker of the Manipur Legislative Assembly Yumnam Khemchand had rushed to New Delhi after he had been summoned by the party leadership. It cannot be however confirmed that whether the summoning of the Speaker Y. Khemchand is related with the ongoing crisis for change of leadership or not, but political analysts are of the opinion that the Central Leadership may want to know a report from Y. Khemchand.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh today convenes a meeting of the BJP MLAs at the Chief Minister’s office today evening. A source said that the central leadership also wanted to meet the Chief Minister as the crisis remain unsolved.
