Imphal, September 06:
Former Union Minister of State for Food Processing and MSCP MP Th Chaoba today fired a salvo to the former CM and party colleague W Nipamacha Singh charging that the then Nipamacha led United Front is responsible for the current political crisis of the State.
Making his first public appearance in the State after he resigned as Union Minister in a reception hosted by party workers at Nambol, Chaoba minced no word in criticizing Nipamacha giving the blame to him for the dissolution of the State Assembly and holding of a premature election in the State.
The MSCP president who arrived from Delhi this noon said that the State�s financial crisis is result of the UF ministry�s over-ambitious implementation of the 5th Pay Commission recommendations without taking into consideration the State�s ill financial health.
Alleging misuse of Plan funds and incurring of heavy expenditure in the payment of arrears of employees by the UF Government, the regretted that even the newly born children have been drawn into the debt trap due to the misdeeds of the Nipamacha Government.
The BJP led Government at the Centre lost faith in the UF Ministry and ultimately pulled it down.
Later the Centre was forced to impose President�s Rule in the State due to the unchecked party hopping by MLAs, he added.
Chaoba also asserted that the blame for the dissolution of the House should not be given to the MSCP as Nipamacha had already been stripped off of the post of the MSCP president.
He said that he did not give into the demands of some voluntary organizations to resign as there was no party decision on the matter.
However, he resigned this time as state units of the NDA partners pressed hard for dropping him.
Stating that he is remaining as a member of the NDA Government for the present, the MSCP leader said that his party is discussing whether he should quit the NDA or not.
Chaoba�s brother MLA Bira said that he political crisis broke out due to the power tussle between the BJP and the Samata Party.
As such, the two parties will lose popular support in the next Assembly election.
