Imphal, April 07 2017:
Seeking disqualification of MLA Th Shyamkumar who was elected on Congress ticket from Andro AC before joining BJP's camp, MPCC has lodged a written complaint to the Manipur Legislative Assembly Speaker.
Th Shyamkumar who is now a Minister in the BJP led coalition Government changed sides even before he was sworn in as an MLA.
The MPCC's petition was signed by its president and it was submitted to the Speaker through an advocate at around 1 pm today.
Notably, as many as 10 Congress MLAs raised an adjournment motion in the first session of the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly demanding a debate on why MLA Shyamkumar should not be disqualified.
Rather than accepting the motion, the Speaker maintained that the matter has been recorded and referred to the Assembly Secretary.
