Manipur cabinet expansion: The six new ministers include five from the BJP and one from ally Naga People's Front.
Six new ministers joined the Biren Singh government today, with the BJP-led government going in for a cabinet expansion just one month after it returned to power in Manipur.
Manipur Governor La Ganeshan administered the oath of office and secrecy to the six new ministers, of whom five are from the BJP and one from ally Naga People's Front (NPF).
The new ministers include senior BJP leaders Latpao Haokip, a minister in the previous BJP government, and Th Basanta Singh, a former IPS officer and son of former Union minister Chaoba Singh.
Three young leaders - Dr Sapam Ranjan Singh, L Susindro Meitei, and H Dingo Singh - too became part of the new Manipur cabinet.
