Imphal, February 28 2017: All corruption cases involving leaders of the incumbent Congress Government would be duly investigated and all those found guilty would be imprisoned in case BJP comes to power in the State, asserted BJP National president Amit Shah.

Speaking at an election rally held at Kangpokpi Thomas ground today, Amit Shah remarked that Manipur remains quite backward even though it has been 70 years since India achieved independence.

He accused the Congress Government of indulging in rampant corruption and graft practices during recruitment drives.

The State's law and order situation remains volatile because larger portions of the funds sanctioned by the Centre have been swindled.

Transport infrastructure are pathetic and unemployment is a big issue in Manipur, Amit Shah stated.

He went on to ask Chief Minister O Ibobi where has he put 51 lakh tonnes of rice given by the Centre to the State Government for distribution to the poor people of Manipur. The State Government has been unable to submit utilisation certificates sanctioned for development of health, education, potable water supply sectors.

"I'm here in Manipur leaving behind the crucial Uttar Pradesh elections which is one of the biggest States of the country because I'm committed to bring uniform development across the country even though Manipur is a small State", Amit Shah asserted.

Pledging that BJP would develop Manipur as a model State, he appealed to the people of Manipur to give an opportunity to Prime Minister Narendra Modi so that he can implement his own plan of development in Manipur successfully.

If BJP forms the next State Government, it would be corruption free, he assured.

North East Democratic Alliance convenor and Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma remarked that O Ibobi has been heading a '10 per cent Government'.

The Congress Government took Rs five lakh for recruitment of each police personnel, he charged.

Even though new districts have been created, there are no roads and people have no access to potable water, he said.

Speaking at another election rally held at Chengei ground within Moirang AC today, the BJP National president claimed that they would persuade all concerned to lift the indefinite economic blockade being imposed on the two National Highways which connect Manipur with the rest of the country within 24 hours in case BJP is elected to power.

It was at Moirang where the Indian National Army (INA) led by Netaji Subhashchandra Bose first hoisted the Indian National Flag.

As such, Manipur occupies a very important position in the history of India's freedom struggle, he said.

But the Congress Government led by O Ibobi has converted Manipur into a troubled State bounded by bandhs and blockades.

The Ibobi Government is the most corrupt Government in the whole country.

Rather than sharing any thought for the ever increasing population of unemployed youth, Ibobi and his Ministers have been politicising the economic blockade, Amit Shah continued.

Exuding confidence that BJP would score a landslide victory in the ensuing election and form the next Government in Manipur, Amit Shah stated that the NDA Government has been paying special attention to the country's eastern region particularly the North East because it is relatively backward as compared to the country's western region.

Noting that Manipur has huge potential in tourism sector, the BJP National president rued that the Ibobi Government did nothing for development tourism industry in the State.

Once BJP comes to power in the State, Manipur will be put on the map of the world's most popular tourist destinations.

Manipur can achieve remarkable economic development through promotion of extensive organic farming but Ibobi has no time for organic farming even though he has enough time for 'fake encounters' .

As already assured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi a few days back, the ongoing Naga accord would not affect the territory of Manipur even by a single inch, Amit Shah asserted.

In order to generate employment, an IT hub would be established in the State, he assured.

Amit Shah then appealed to the people of Manipur to elect BJP to power and help BJP bring revolutionary changes in the State.

BJP State election management committee convenor Th Chaoba claimed that BJP would win at least 40 seats including six seats out of six in Bishnupur district and go on to form the next Government.

BJP Manipur Pradesh president K Bhabananda and the six BJP candidates contesting in different Assembly segments of Bishnupur district also took part in the election rally.
