Joint Delegation Of CPI(M), CPI MPs To Visit Manipur Today
A joint delegation of CPI(M) and CPI members of Parliament will visit violence-hit Manipur from July 6-8 to express solidarity with the people and take stock of the situation in the state, the two Left parties said on Wednesday.
In a statement announcing the visit by the five-member team, the parties lashed out at the BJP governments at the Centre and in the state, saying the "claims of the greatest governance through double engine government are now exposed to the marrow of its bones". They alleged that the BJP leadership was showing greater interest in undermining opposition parties and forcing defection in Maharashtra, instead of working to restore peace in Manipur.
"The people of Manipur continue to struggle on the principal demand of urgent restoration of normalcy and the removal of the chief minister who has become a symbol of divisive politics and has lost all legitimacy to continue in office," the statement said. It said the Left parties participated in the national convention held in New Delhi on June 25 where leaders of 10 like-minded political parties and elected members of Zilla Parishads from Manipur had met.
Sharad Pawar Calls National Executive Meeting In New Delhi Today

The meeting comes a day after Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said he aspired to become the CM of the state and also took a jibe at Sharad Pawar asking his 83-year-old uncle when will he retire from active politics, as the rebel leader appeared to be ahead in the numbers game for control of the NCP after its vertical split.
"I was sworn in deputy CM five times. It is a record but the vehicle stops there, doesn't proceed further. I feel from the bottom of my heart that I should become pramukh (cm) of the state. I have some things which I want to implement and for that becoming pramukh (CM) is essential," Ajit Pawar told a meeting convened by him in Bhujbal Knowledge City in suburban Bandra.
