Imphal, October 28 2019:
Foundation stone was laid today for development of Phayeng Gram Panchayat as a model Gram Panchayat under SAGY and PMAGY schemes.
The foundation stone laying ceremony organised by the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Imphal West was graced by BJP Manipur Pradesh president and Rajya Sabha MP K Bhabananda.
Later speaking at a public function held at Phayeng Sabal Leikai community hall, Bhabananda exhorted all the people to ask their respective MLAs as to why Manipur is still unable to march rapidly on the path of development despite being a small State with a little population.
He categorically stated that politicians have immense roles to take a Nation/society to a higher trajectory of development.
It is a matter of grave concern that politics is being misinterpreted as a trade of manipulation, telling lies and incitement of distrust among the masses, Bhabananda said.
Conveying that some Ministers and MLAs have been speaking in such languages which are quite offensive and scandalous, the MP said people would never experience the truth of politics as long as the politicians continue to misinterpret politics.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi interprets politics as service to the masses.
Serving the masses for their welfare is the true essence of politics, Bhabananda asserted.
He said that politics would have no meaning if it is preceded by manipulation.
He then urged all the people to exercise all their wisdom while electing representatives if they want their representatives to do good for the State/society.
A Nation can never become developed without politics.
People will continue to suffer as long as the current trend of election persists, he said.
Why Manipur cannot march rapidly on the path of development despite presence of 60 MLAs is one question which everyone ought to ask, Bhabananda said.
Expressing disappointment over the local MLA's absence at the function, the BJP Manipur Pradesh president asserted that local MLAs should take pro-active roles in all development activities.
Phayeng GP would be developed in 8 different sectors so as to make it a model GP.
The initiative is aimed at ensuring all urban facilities are available at Phayeng.
The foundation stone laying ceremony was also attended by Phayeng GP Pradhan A Shyamashakhi, Imphal West DC N Praveen, BJP State unit vice-president Salam Joy and an ex-MLA.
