Caretaker Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi has triggered speculations about who will be in charge in Manipur.
A contender for the post is senior Minister Thongam Biswajit, who, a section in the Bharatiya Janata Party feels, had missed out in 2017 despite playing a major role in building the party from scratch. This was acknowledged by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma ahead of the two-phase polls in Manipur.
“Met Shri @NBirenSingh Ji and congratulated him on @BJP4Manipur’s stupendous victory in the recently concluded Assembly Polls. Our Party is committed to working even harder to fulfil the aspirations of the people of Manipur,” Mr. Modi tweeted on Wednesday.
