Presenting the findings of a delegation of CPI(M)-CPI parliamentarians who visited Manipur, the Left parties have reiterated their demand for BJP leader and Chief Minister N. Biren Singh’s ouster, saying that the State administration has collapsed completely with the Chief Minister losing legitimacy and credibility.
The delegation comprising Bikashranjan Bhattacharya, John Brittas [CPI(M)], Binoy Viswam, K. Subbarayan and P. Sandosh Kumar [CPI] visited refugee camps and other locations in the valley and hills for three days .
“The delegation had frank discussions with a cross-section of civil society. The dominant view was that the state administration has collapsed completely with the Chief Minister losing legitimacy and credibility. Therefore, the continuation of Chief Minister Biren Singh in office is untenable. People are pained and hurt at the deafening silence of the Prime Minister about the situation in Manipur,” the party said in a statement here.
