IMPHAL, May 13: Stating that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not a communal party which only strive for Hindu people, president of BJP Manipur Pradesh Th Chaoba slammed the Congress party for gaining political mileage by bringing in religion in politics.
He was attending a public meeting cum flag hoisting of Th Wilinlungbou, BJP candidate from 12-Khengjang District Council Constituency under Saitu Assembly Constituency in Senapati district in the ensuing ADC election at the residence of the candidate today.
Speaking as chief guest, Chaoba charged the Congress-led government in the state with failure to work according to the needs of the people, saying that the BJP government unlike the Congress has been coming up with slew of schemes especially for the poor people.
The Congress government in the state has utterly failed to implement the Public Distribution System and provide potable water to the people. The series of inauguration of SDO, police station and other offices is just to appease contractors and serve certain purposes for the government. After its inauguration, there are no staffs in the offices, he said.
Chaoba contended that the inauguration of a 50-bedded hospital at Bungpa was done in such a manner that Chief Minister came in helicopter to inaugurate it.
When a 33 KV Power Station at Bungpa was inaugurated by the CM, people of the area had thought that there will be uninterrupted power supply in the area. Shockingly, just after the CM and his accompany left the area, the light went off. Later it came to know that that the light was supplied for a while by using a hired generator, he claimed.
Saying that the ensuing ADC election is a perfect occasion to show first exit door to the Congress, Chaoba mentioned that downfall of the Congress party is not too far away as it will suffer defeat in the upcoming Municipal Election as well as in the next general election.
He declared that many development programmes and schemes will be taken up in the hill areas if the BJP candidates win the ensuing ADC election.
Haokholet Kipgen, nation vice-president of BJP; Basanta Sharma, state general secretary of BJP; Tongmang Haokip, state executive member of BJP Manipur Pradesh; Thangkhulen Kipgen, president of BJP Sadar Hills and several other leaders of the party were also present during the public meeting cum flag hoisting ceremony.
Today also saw flag hoisting of P Rocky Rangtaina, BJP candidate from Mayangkhang Constituency and Ngamlen Kipgen, BJP candidate from 7-Keithelmanbi Constituency.
