Imphal, June 02 2014:
Giving the latest twist to the fight for the post of president in the party, MLA of Andro A/C Th Shyamkumar has been reportedly appointed as the president of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress (MPTC) .
Announcing this to media here today, General Secretary of MPTC Abungcha Konthoujam informed that All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) general secretary Derek O'Brien has dispatched a fax message appointing Th Shyamkumar as the new president of MPTC to to succeed Kim Gangte.
It may be noted here that few days back, party MLA from Thangmeiband A/C Kh Joykishan told media that he had been appointed as the new president of the party following resignation of Kim Gangte owing responsibility for the debacle of MPTC in the recent Lok Sabha election.
But a day after this, Kim Gangte came up to claim that she is still the president of the party and there was no question of her giving in the resignation letter without prior instruction from the party's high command.
