IMPHAL, May 29: Manipur has seen 10 Chief Minister till date of which the 10th Okram Ibobi Singh is an expert in corruption and has become infamous as the most corrupted person in India, BJP Manipur Pradesh president Th Chaoba alleged during a one day political campaign today.
The campaign was held in connection to the ADC election at Khulmi Lentoul Molnoi Area 7-Aimol Tampak under Tengnoupal constituency, Chandel.
He said the past nine Chief Minister were all honest and none were corrupted individuals. Many of them had worked and sacrificed for the people of the State, he asserted.
Many of the past Chief Ministers`™ families are struggling today as normal citizens as they had not amassed property during their stint as Chief Minister of the land, he claimed.
However, the present Chief Minister is an expert in looting the people`™s money and corruption has increased manifold during his present tenure, Chaoba continued.
The Ibobi led Congress government has been ruling over Manipur for more than 13 years now, but the only visible achievement of the government is selling of government jobs at prices which go as high as several lakhs of rupees, he said.
Chaoba claimed no development is visible in the State today, except for the government waiting to loot public money or siphone off funds meant for schemes and infrastructure sanctioned by the Centre.
Now that the BJP has come to power in the Centre ousting the Congress led UPA government, it is time to punish Okram Ibobi Singh for his deeds, he said.
The people of Manipur have awakened to the Modi wave and very soon the Lotus will bloom in the hills of the State in the aftermath of the ADC election, he claimed.
He continued that the people are all waiting for judgment day when Ibobi will be brought to justice.
Chaoba also charged the Congress government in the State of not including a single rupee for the development of hills in the 2014-15 State budget.
He further charged Education minister Moirangthem Okendro of violating the election code of conduct by announcing to set up a Hill University in Churachandpur district while campaigning for a Congress candidate.
Replying to an allegation made against him by deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam earlier this week, Chaoba said during his time as State Revenue minister and Union Minister at Delhi, he had managed to preserve the Hapta Kangjeibung which is now being used by the State government to hold the Manipur Sangai Festival.
The Congress, he said, is today like a patient waiting to die in the ICU.
BJP national executive member Tapir Gao said under the leadership of Ibobi and Gaikhangam, the Congress is playing a divide and rule policy between the hills and the valley people.
The people should elect the BJP in order to take revenge against the Congress government, he continued.
Tapir also said that the ban on beef in some States is totally the States`™ concern, and the Centre can do nothing.
The campaign was also attended by M Asnikumar general secretary Administration, Laimayum Basanta Sharma general secretary Media Affairs and senior member of the party S Tiken and Oinam Malesh president BJYM.
