MLAs confined, allege wives
The wives of the Arunachal Pradesh Congress Legislature Party has lodged a formal complaints to governor Gen. J.J. Singh (Retd) that their husbands are kept under confinements and not allowed to visit their respective homes as
political crisis continue to rock the state.
Authoritative security sources told this newspaper that wife of senior minister Chowa Mein motivated the wives of legislators to lodge formal complaints to the governor pointing out that their husbands are being kept under confinement.
In what has come as an embarrassment for ruling Congress party, the Congress insiders said that AICC was looking into the all the developments and a possible solution is being worked out in which chief minister Jarbom Gamlin may be a loser.
Initially, the party high command had supported Mr Gamlin but in the backdrop of latest development at Itanagar, the AICC is looking for an alternative way to resolve the crisis.
The Congress insiders said that PCC chief Nabam Tuki who is insisting on removing Mr Gamlin, may be given a chance to head the government to defuse the crisis. Though, Mr Tuki enjoys the support of 21 legislators in 42 member Congress legislator party, the insiders said that instability seems to be unavoidable in Arunachal as Mr Gamlin is also having the support of 20 MLAs with Speaker remaining impartial so far. Congress insiders feel at least three MLAs of Mr Gamlin’s camp are fencesitters.
