IMPHAL, October 12: Several film personalities including singers from the State participated in a road show campaign of the BJP candidate for the Hiyanglam by-poll Maibam Dhanabir today.
Film stars M Binata, Kh Biswamitra and renowned singers Naba Volcano and B Kunjabihari were among the film personalities who attended the campaign.
The road show started from Sekmaijing and toured the constituency.
The film personalities interacted with the public of the constituency along their tour.
Speaking on the sideline of the tour, singer Naba Volcano said they support the party and the road show was their contribution to the party for the Hiyanglam by-poll.
Unlike the previous Congress government, the present BJP led government in the Centre has earmarked special packages for the people of the region to open a Film Institute in the region and to establish a Sports University in Manipur which has been already announced by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, he said.
The Congress government has done nothing for the artists of the State, he continued.
If the party wins a seat in the State, the change visible in other States of the country after the Narendra Modi led government came to power will also reach Manipur, he asserted.
Actress Binata said the future of Manipur is with Narendra Modi.
An artist is not connected in any manner with politics, but it is our firm belief that a film institute in the State would do much good for the artists and people of the State, she said.
We are only showing our support for the BJP candidate Maibam Dhanabir, she continued.
Although the road show with film personalities showing support managed to attract quite a few people, it remains to be seen whether the BJP has the public`™s support.
