Meanwhile, state BJP president A Sarda Devi, who was also in Delhi, said that there is no official communication so far on the CM’s name and things will be clear after holi.
It may be mentioned that Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and law minister Kiren Rijiju are expected to arrive in the state soon for the party’s legislature meeting.
The BJP bagged a clear majority in the recently concluded Assembly elections in Manipur by winning 32 seats in the 60-member house.
