Imphal, December 07 2008:
Following the switch of loyalty to the BJP by former MLA from Keishamthong AC MLA L Ibomcha Singh, Keishamthong BJP Mandal organised a reception programme of public leaders who recently joined the party at its office today.
State BJP unit president Dr H Borbabu who attended the function as the chief guest while addressing the gathering said that with the changing trends in politics all over the country as well as globally, a change too will come in Manipur.
Taking digs at the Congress, Borbabu said that the UPA Government at Delhi is a coalition Government only in name with the Congress virtually riding rough shod over its partners.
With the Congress heading the Government, the country is gripped by numerous crises today, said the BJP president and added that lawlessness has become the hallmark of the Government.
With such a poor track record and keeping in line with the changing mood and political trend across the country, the Congress is sure to bite the dust at the hustings, he added.
Claiming that the BJP alone can defeat the Congress, Borbabu said that in the face of the BJP scoring over the Congress on many points, a number of seasoned and experienced political leaders of the State have joined the BJP.
A number of well known political figures including National Executive member Meinam Bhorot, former Chief Minister W Nipamacha, former MLA PS Henry Paotei, former Minister S Natum, former MLA L Ibomcha, IMC Councillor of Ward number 11 M Joychandra and members of the BJP Keishamthong mandal attended the function.
President of Keishamthong BJP mandal T Gourachandra Sharma presided over the function.
