IMPHAL | Nov 27

The central committee of Manipur People’s Party (MPP) has appointed Laishram Krishnadas Singh from of Wangjing Tentha Assembly constituency as its ‘vacancy president’ on November 25.

Speaking to media person at the Manipur Press Club, the newly appointed ‘vacancy president’ clarified the claim made by Oinam Jugindro Singh, former ‘vacancy president’, in the media as baseless.

“Whatever he claimed so far is not acceptable. We had selected him as ‘vacancy president’ on May 16 last year for a period of six months term. His actual period is expired,” said Krishnadas.

However Judindro wrongfully considers himself as party president and even sent letter to the Election Commission of India declaring that he is the party president, he added.

Krishnadas further continued that the self-styled ‘vacancy president’ Oinam Jugindro Singh was disqualified by the State Returning Officer (SRO) for forging election certificates.

Highlighting the present situation of MPP, he said the regional party of Manipur is almost in the verge of downfall. In order to revive the party we formed a development committee of MPP, he added.

“Our party is always ready to welcome each and every person. But we cannot accept someone who tries to defame the party,” he asserted.

It may be mentioned that the ‘vacancy president’ term will last for six months only. The full term president is going to be appointed by next year April. And the tenure of full term president is of three years.
