BUTTERWORTH: Two Bagan MIC division leaders are in hot soup for backing a suspended division chairman as candidate for the Bagan Dalam state seat in the 13th general election.Sources said MIC national disciplinary committee chairman KS Nijhar has been under tremendous pressure from certain MIC top leaders to sack the duo – Bagan acting chairman M Letchimanasamy and secretary S Muniandy.
Both Letchimanasamy and Muniandy had thrown their support behind Henry Benedict Asirvatham’s candidacy.
Sources said the party central working committee (CWC) meeting on Friday Nov 11 may even direct Nijhar’s committee to initiate proceedings with the aim of expelling the duo from the party.
It’s learnt the certain top party leaders have been bombarded with text messages to take stern action against the duo.
Letchimanasamy and Muniandy had reportedly urged MIC’s national leadership to terminate Henry’s suspension and reinstate him as the rightful Bagan division chief.
The duo have also criticized the state leadership helmed by chairman Senator PK Subbaiyah for appointing party state secretary M Karuppanan as Bagan Dalam’s BN coordinator last month.
It’s a BN practice that a constituency coordinator would be the front runner for candidacy in the next general election.
