Putting all speculations to rest about 'instability' of the Kalikho Pul government in Arunachal Pradesh, deputy chief minister Chowna Mein along with three senior MLAs today dismissed a report of their alleged rift with the chief minister, which has gone viral in social media.
They have also lodged a complaint with the government and requested that the cyber crime branch investigate the matter and identify and punish the source from where the report originated, a joint statement issued by them said.
Mein, along with MLAs Pema Khandu, Markio Tado and Pasang D Sona, who were said to be the main players of the alleged revolt, claimed that there was no political crisis of any sort in the present government.
"Each minister, parliamentary secretary and MLA is working on delivering the change that the government had promised when it came to power in February this year," the statement said.
"There is absolutely no loss of trust either in the government or within the People's Party of Arunachal (PPA) and such ill-intentioned acts are only being done to try and create a rift between like-minded leaders," it said.
They stated that the 'fraud that has been circulated in the social media over the last few days, regarding a change of leadership in the Kalikho Pul-led PPA government has once again exposed the frustration and desperation in certain political camps over the smooth and successful functioning of the present government'.
"The hoax not only fabricated locations and timing of the supposed 'camp at Delhi', they also completely miscalculated the trust and cooperation between the present chief minister and all of us," the statement added.
