On April 13, Thokchom Radheshyam Singh MLA from Heirok constituency tendered his resignation as advisor to Manipur’s CM, citing no responsibility given as the reason for his resignation.
Another MLA, Karam Shyam from Langthabal constituency resigned from the chairman’s post of Manipur Tourism Corporation Limited on April 17, four days after Heirok MLA Thokchom Radheshyam stepped down as the adviser to CM N Biren Singh.
Four BJP MLAs, namely Thokchom Radheshyam Singh, Karam Shyam, Paonam Brojen Singh, and Khwairakpam Raghumani Singh (Uripok constituency), are camping in New Delhi to meet the central leadership, demanding the intervention of the leadership for a change of chief minister or at least a rejig in the state cabinet.
