Imphal, March 14 2012:
Soon after the swearing in ceremony, Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh left Imphal for Delhi by an evening flight around 5:30 today.
The Chief Minister was reportedly accompanied by Luizinho Faleiro, General Secretary of AICC, North East in-charge and MPCC President Gaikhangam.
It is said that Phungzathang Tonsing, a candidate for the post of Deputy Chief Minister and elected Congress candidate from Khurai A/C Dr Ng Bijoy were also reportedly in the same aircraft in which Chief Minister O Ibobi was on board.
According to a reliable source from within the Congress party, the hasty retreat of Chief Minister O Ibobi to Delhi is related with the issue over appointment of Deputy Chief Minister and the fight for Ministership among the 42 elected Congress candidates.
Ibobi would be discussing the issue with Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
