Imphal, April 15 2017:
Wangoi AC MLA O Lukhoi has stated that he would make all efforts to make Wangoi Assembly segment a full fledged revenue district.
He was speaking at a felicitation function organised in his honour by Wangoi Block Congress Committee at Yumnam Huidrom Mayai Leikai community hall today.
Speaking at the gathering, O Lukhoi claimed that Wangoi Assembly Constituency has all the elements required for a revenue district.
He appealed to the people of Wangoi not to be disheartened with the notion that the pace of development would be slowed down just because he is sitting on Opposition bench.
Apart from taking up a number of development works including improvement of transport infrastructure, safe drinking water would be made available at all localities of Wangoi AC, assured the MLA.
The incumbent coalition Government led by BJP is like a patient who is undergoing treatment in critical condition in ICU.
The Government is surviving only because it is being supplied oxygen by NPF.
The Government would collapse once the oxygen supply is removed by NPF.
Chief Minister N Biren is literally sleeping on a bed of thorns.
"In politics, one may change with the changing situation and people should not harbour any ill-feeling against me even if I cannot consult all the people in advance", Lukhoi said.
Soon after the election results were declared, Congress MLAs opened a camp and stayed together as a part of a strategy to form Government.
But the party could not form Government and all the MLAs have gone back to their respective Assembly constituencies.
Now the MLAs can focus their attention on development activities, Lukhoi added.
