"We often chant about wanting to capture Putrajaya but if we keep having problems like this, how will the people support the party's struggle?" he said yesterday.

Manikavasagam said this when asked to comment on rumours about internal strife and conflict involving involving Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim's political secretary Faekah Husin being pressured to resign.
