``As it will create misunderstanding"

Ibobi Singh

IMPHAL: Manipur's ruling coalition partners, the Congress and the Communist Party of India, have parted ways and there will be no alliance or seat adjustment between them in next year's Assembly elections, Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said here on Wednesday.

Brochure released

He was releasing a brochure listing the achievements of the Secular Progressive Front Ministry, which came to power on March 7, 2002.

An electoral alliance between the two was bound to create a misunderstanding among the workers, with serious repercussions, he said.

The CPI said it would support a Congress Ministry from outside if that party got an absolute majority in the elections.
