Imphal, April 02 2017:
Altogether 15 Members of Tamenglong ADC including Government nominees have been camping at Imphal for the last four days demanding the removal of the Council's chairman, Ngam-singrei of NPF from the said post.
On the other hand, 11 Members, supporting Ngam-singrei have also been camping at Imphal for the past few days.
There are 26 Members in the council including two Government nominees.
Even though BJP and NPF have joined hands in forming the new Government, BJP is implementing a political strategy to appoint a party backed representative as the new chairman of the Council and as such has been camping.
It is worth pointing out that of the 15 Members supporting BJP, seven Members including five Members from the Congress party and two Government nominees, had earlier resigned from the Congress and had remained as independent Members.
