Caretaker Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh and senior Minister in the last Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led coalition government, Thongam Biswajit, on Thursday clarified that the leadership issue in Manipur has not been resolved.
Both appealed to the media not to publish or broadcast “speculative reports” after returning to State capital Imphal from New Delhi. The two leaders had flown to the national capital in a chartered aircraft on Tuesday to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president J. P. Nadda.
While Mr. Biswajit reached Imphal in the morning, Mr. Singh returned in the afternoon with State BJP president Adhikarimayum Sharda.
