Manipur CM Ibobi Singh Finalises Decision on Cabinet Reshuffle

Ibobi has given a list of ministers who are to be dropped and legislators who will be inducted into the ministry.

Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi has finally decided which minister needs to be dropped and which dissident legislator must be inducted.

Ibobi, who returned from Delhi on Friday after consultations with party leaders, called on Governor V Shanmuganathan at Raj Bhavan on Sunday.

At their 15-minute meeting, Ibobi is understood to have given a list of the ministers who are to be dropped and legislators who will be inducted into the ministry. But the date of the swearing-in ceremony is not fixed as there were some hiccups, both from the ministers’ and the dissidents’ camps, party sources said.

A source close to the chief minister said:

If the hitches can be sorted out, the swearing in ceremony will take place on Tuesday.
