No move to change leadership: Speaker

Itanagar, Oct 9 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Asembly Speaker Setong Sena today denied any move by the Congress legislators of Tirap and Changlang districts to remove Dorjee Khandu from his post.

"We are all behind Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu," the speaker reacted in a statement here today amidst rumours that Congress MLAs of the two districts were signing in favour of changing of leadership in the state.

Mr Sena, claiming that his name had unnecessarily been dragged into this issue, said that none of the Congress MLAs of Tirap and Changlang have called for any change in leadership.

"We support his (Khandu) leadership in the greater interest of the state," and appealed to rumour-mongers to desist from such unwanted and nefarious activities in attempts to create confusion among the people in the state, the statement added.
