Paonam Brojen BJP MLA resigned from central post

Imphal: Manipur BJP MLA Paonam Brojen on Thursday resigned from the chairmanship of the Manipur Development Society citing “personal reasons”.

Brojen is the third-party legislator from the northeastern state who has resigned from his respective administrative posts in the Manipur government within a fortnight. According to reports, the three MLAs are currently in Delhi to meet the central leadership of the party and express their grievances.
His moves led to speculations that there was a rift in the Biren Singh-led BJP government.
“I resign from the post of Chairman of Manipur Development Society Imphal on personal grounds. This may be accepted amicably,” Brojen said in a letter to Chief Minister N Biren Singh.

Earlier, BJP MLA Karam Shyam resigned from the chairmanship of Tourism Corporation Manipur Limited on Monday, complaining that he was “not given any responsibility”.
On April 8, another party legislator, Thokchom Radheshyaam, resigned as advisor to the chief minister, citing a similar complaint.

A fourth MLA, Khwairakpam Raghumani, has filed a complaint with the Manipur police against the president of the BJP’s state minority front for “threatening” him through a Facebook post.
