Will resign if corruption charge proved: Manipur minister

Imphal, Oct 30 : Manipur Consumer affairs, Food and Public Distribution Minister Karam Shyam on Monday offered to resign if corruption charges levelled against him by a proscribed insurgent outfit are proved.

As an outlawed group charged Shyam with cornering crores of rupees every month at the cost of the poor people and threatened to launch an agitations, the minister dismissed it as a "political conspiracy". 

"When the new ministry was installed there were complaints of misappropriation of rice and other benefits to the people and I wonder what the outfit had done during the Congress regime," he said, asserting that if a single corruption charge against him is substantiated, he will resign.
