1st BJP-led Govt to be sworn in Manipur tomorrow

IMPHAL: The first BJP-led Government in Manipur will be sworn-in tomorrow when N Biren Singh is administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Najma Heptulla.

Heptulla today invited Singh, who was unanimously elected the leader of the 21-member BJP legislature party yesterday, to form the Government.

The invitation to Singh came on a day when four members of the Naga People’s Front, an NDA ally, met the Governor and declared their support to BJP for Government formation.

Raj Bhavan sources said the swearing-in would take place at one PM tomorrow.

On being asked about how many ministers will take oath along with the Chief Minister, BJP sources here said it was yet to be worked out.

“However, It will be a small ministry and it will have representation from other allies,” the sources said.

“Four NPF MLAs met the Governor and extended their support to the BJP for Government formation,” a Raj Bhavan source told reporters.
