Rivals make consensus difficult in Manipur
The Hindu | Iboyaima Laithangbam |Imphal, March 9, 2012:
With the AICC observers and CLP members in Manipur unable to elect the new leader, the choice was left to Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Spokesman N. Biren said the legislators agreed to accept the leader named by her.
All 42 CLP members had assembled on Wednesday night at the Congress office for electing the new leader. Except for Lok Sabha MP M. Meinya no other person was allowed inside. The meeting could not agree on a consensus candidate since Yumkham Erabot, Commerce and Industries Minister and G. Gaikhangam, PCC president were also strong contenders and refused to back out. The attempt of the two observers to settle the issue failed.
Consequently, the contest has narrowed down to Mr. Ibobi and Mr. Gaikhangam. Each of them is claiming credit for the landslide victory of the party in the January 28 elections. However some supporters of Mr. Ibobi said the entire credit should go to him. They are questioning the contribution of Mr. Gaikhangam pointing out that he could not go to his own constituency on two occasions to cast his vote.
