Brinda Thounaojam of the Manipur Police Service who is now of the rank of Additional Superintendent of Police declared on Sunday that she would contest the forthcoming election of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly.
It is expected that the Assembly election will be conducted next year as the term of the present BJP-led coalition Ministry ends on March 16, 2022.
Talking briefly to mediapersons, she said that because of ‘political interference’ she could not discharge her duty properly at the executive level. She also said that she had submitted her resignation letter. Earlier, she had planned to meet presspersons and some of her supporters at the Meihoubam Lampak in her constituency. But the government denied her the permission.
