Imphal, January 20 2015:
Reacting to MLA Th Shyamkumar's allegation of all Congress Ministers indulging in rampant corruption, Government spokesman M Okendro has dismissed the same allegations as the MLA's personal opinion which lacks substance.
Speaking to media persons at his Secretariat North Block office this evening, M Okendro who is also Education and CAF&PD Minister said that the Shyamkumar's allegations were aimed at projecting the Government and the Ministers in a bad light.
Okendro said that he was amazed on hearing Shyamkumar's declaration that he would resign from the post of MLA if necessary actions are not initiated against the Congress Ministers by April.
Whether he remains an MLA or resigns from the post of MLA has nothing to do with the Government for he is not a member of CLP.
All the development programmes being taken up in the State are being monitored by the Chief Minister himself.
With regard to the outbreak of suspected rabies and death of people in Churachandpur district, a special Cabinet meeting was convened and the Cabinet meeting decided to take up all necessary counter measures on a war footing.
Text books for schools would be made available in markets shortly, Okendro assured.
