 "Takam Pario likely to be Arunachal CM in 2017 after PPA suspends Pema Khandu, 6 MLAs")
In an apparently sudden development, Takam Pario is all set to take over as the next Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh. The move comes after the Peoples’ Party of Arunachal (PPA) on early Friday suspended Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein and five other party MLAs from the primary membership of the party temporarily with immediate effect for alleged anti-party activities, reported India Today TV. The report added that a party meeting will be convened at 2 pm to make the decision official. The five other MLAs are Jambey Tashi (Lumla), Passang Dorjee Sona (Mechuka), Chow Tewa Mein (Chowkham), Zingnu Namchom (Namsai) and Kamlung Mossang (Miao).

PPA President Kahfa Bengia in an order stated that by virtue of the power vested in him by the Constitution of the party and the resolution adopted in the state executive committee meeting held on 20 December, the MLAs are placed under suspension temporarily from the primary membership with immediate effect pending initiation of disciplinary proceedings. Bengia said prima facie he was satisfied with the proofs of their indulgence in gross “anti-party” activities.

He directed the party MLAs and PPA functionaries not to attend any meeting called by Khandu and said that any members failing to comply with the order would have to face disciplinary action of the party. Bengia, in a letter to Assembly Speaker T Norbu Thongdok requested him to declare the suspended MLAs as unattached members of the House and arrange separate sitting for them in the House. He further requested the Speaker to communicate the development to the Governor. With inputs from PTI
