BJP MLA Brojen Singh resigns as chairman of Manipur Development Society on ‘personal grounds’

IMPHAL: Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Paonam Brojen Singh from Wangjing Tentha Assembly Constituency on Thursday tendered his resignation from the post of Chairman of Manipur Development Society. He is the third BJP MLA to resign from the administrative post. The reason for his resignation was cited as 'personal grounds'.

"I tender my resignation from the post of chairman of Manipur Development Society (MDS) due to some personal grounds," Brojen stated in his resignation letter submitted to Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh. The Manipur State BJP has called a crucial high-level meeting on Friday. Earlier, on April 17, a BJP MLA from Manipur's Langthabal Assembly constituency, Karam Shyam, resigned from the Chairman post of the Tourism Corporation of Manipur. Shyam, who tendered his resignation letter to the state's Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh, alleged that he had not been assigned any responsibility as the Chairman of the Tourism Corporation of Manipur.

Earlier, BJP MLA Thokchom Radheshyam Singh resigned as the adviser to Manipur's CM on April 13. In his resignation letter, Radheshyam also complained of "not being given any responsibility". (ANI)
