MLAs to 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly took oath of office on March 19 2017 :: Pix - Shankar Khangembam

Realizing that our society needed a drastic change, the Mao Baptist Churches Association (MBCA) launched Clean and Fair Election Campaign by the mid 2016 and carried the same Campaign through 2017.

The realization came envisioning the upcoming Manipur General Election 2017, which has just been concluded and the new Government formed. The past experiences and realities were behind the launching of this Campaign.

Ever since the Campaign was launched, the MBCA endeavored sincerely to educate its members and neighbors on Clean and Fair Election, availing every opportunity.

One may consider such a Campaign as too utopian an idea and the Campaign an absolute failure, but a single heart changed because of this Campaign is a huge success. A tree does take a single day to bear fruit. Applauses to the MBCA!

Having been notified on the same Campaign the Mao Theological Association (MTA) passionately felt invited to this Campaign to join hands with the MBCA. As such, the MTA sent out its notification to all its members calling them to actively participate in educating the people on Clean and Fair Election.

The MTA is grateful to all its members for having involved in the Campaign. If there was any positive change during the recently concluded Election, noticed or unnoticed, it was all because of you. May God bless you and continue to use you.

The MTA, at its own, also expresses gratitude to all who, apart from the MBCA’s members, had involved in the Clean and Fair Election Campaign. Had you not actively participated in the Campaign the Campaign would not have succeeded to the degree it had succeeded.

Your contribution towards the Campaign all the more fostered the Campaign notable. The positive changes, noticed or unnoticed, during the recently concluded Election are all because of what you had done. May you continually be a channel of change and a catalyst of transforming our society.

Admissibly, the recently concluded Election was not all fair and clean. Stepping aside, some had been driven by their own self-centered motive, resultant of which confusion and contention were resulted.

Nevertheless, that was not the end. For the years to come we can all ungrudgingly and selflessly contribute towards the welfare of the society. May we all reminisce, look back, and realize intensely so as to turn the bad to good for the days ahead.

Election had got over and we had elected our ministers/leaders. But that was not the end. Our ministers need our support as much as they needed before they were elected.

Just as we prayed for them and encouraged them before they had been elected they still need your prayers and encouragements. They had been elected to bring change and development in our society.

Therefore, they cannot do it all themselves. Without our continuous support they cannot achievement much for the good of the society that was intended. May we all extend our fullest support to our ministers that they may be successful, for their benefit and our benefit.

Just as we campaigned so hard to have Clean and Fair Election we must as well persist incessantly to have Clean and Fair Society. We cannot just end up with campaigning Clean and Fair Election.

We must sustain Clean and Fair Society. This is possible with our encouragement, prayers, and supports to the ministers alongside the dedicated spirit and commitment of our ministers.
