Imphal, February 01, 2011:
In what could be a voice of dissent within the SPF Government, DD Thaisii, who was given the portfolio of Education recently, has resigned from the SPF Ministry though the Chief Minister is yet to accept the resignation.
A source informed that dissent over the Cabinet re-shuffle affected by the CM on January 12 might have prompted DD Thaisii to resign from the SPF Ministry.
DD Thaisii submitted his resignation letter to MPCC (I) president Gaikhangam on January 30. It is speculated that resignation of Thaisii might be on two reasons.
First, he might have some grudge over removal of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Department together with TD and Hills Department and might be dissatisfied that he was not allowed to take over Education Department though the same portfolio was allotted to him.
In the recent Cabinet reshuffle, DD Thaisii was given the portfolios of Science and Technology and Education Departments.
Though Thaisii submitted his resignation letter to the MPCC (I) president, the same has not been accepted by the Chief Minister as he is currently away at Delhi.
