The Hindu | Jan 21, 2012 | Dimapur:
India's poorest CM?
Chief Minister of Manipur Okram Ibobi, who has been in power for 10 years, could well be the poorest Chief Minister in the country. Going by his poll affidavit, he had just Rs 50,000 in hand to fight the January 28 elections. His affidavit declared a balance of Rs 1,04,147 in the SBI, Manipur secretariat branch and another Rs 1,000 at the SBI Thoubal branch. In 2000 he bought an Ambassador car costing Rs 50,000. His total liability is Rs 6,44,420.
In dry Manipur, liquor flows
Manipur is a dry state. But ahead of the elections, IMFL and country liquor are flowing. The EC has asked the government to close down the illegal drinking joints and stop illegal sale of IMFL. Excise officials seized IMFL bottles worth Rs 3 lakh on a single day. The government is however yet to close down the illgal drinking joints. These ubiquitous outlets operate quite openly paying protection money. The raiding party arrests people found drinking, but they are released later. The bootleggers are left alone to serve the next customers.
