Manipur BJP MLA Th Biswajit on Sunday congratulated N Biren Singh with a bouquet of flowers over the latter's appointment as chief minister of Manipur for the second term.
"I congratulate and extend my best wishes to Shri @NBirenSingh Ji on being elected as the Leader of @BJP4Manipur State Legislature Party. May the State continue to scale new heights of growth and prosperity under your leadership," Biswajit tweeted.
Responding to the warm wish from Biswajit, Biren also took to Twitter and said: "Thank you Shri@BiswajitThongam Ji for your wishes. Together, we as a team, will embark on this journey to fulfil the aspirations of the people of Manipur".
N Biren Singh, who was the chief minister in the previous BJP-led coalition government in the state, was re-appointed unanimously as the state BJP Legislative Party leader and chief minister by the BJP Central leadership on Sunday.
Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who arrived in Imphal with Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju, announced the name of N Biren Singh as the chief minister of the new state government to be formed.
Biswajit, MLA from Thongju, was among the few names that were doing the rounds as contenders for the next chief minister post in the new government to be formed in the state.
