Imphal, January 07 2017:
Ahead of the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly election, six different political parties have formed an alliance named Left Democratic Front Manipur (LDFM) .
LDFM comprises of CPI, CPI-M, NCP, AAP, MNDF and JD-U.LDFM has already set up a 12-member working committee with Dr M Nara as the convenor.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, Dr Nara claimed that the emergence of LDFM is a testimony of people's lack of trust in the Congress and the BJP.
On the other hand, formation of LDFM is a first step towards fighting the forthcoming election jointly by the six parties.
Dr Nara said that LDFM was formed in accordance with the people's wish who found the self-centred politics of both BJP and Congress equally detestable.
LDFM would take up all key issues of the State boldly and it would also bring a new political structure in the State.
In order to formulate several policies of the front, a 35-member State level committee has been constituted.
Bijoy Koijam, co-convenor of the committee said that the LDFM is formed to defeat unpopular political parties and build a new Manipur.
The party would never compromise on the State's territorial integrity and the front's main objective is delivering the wishes of the people of Manipur, Bijoy Koijam said.
Members of the working committee are Dr M Nara (CPI), L Sotinkumar (CPI), Sarat Salam (CPI-M), Ksh Santa (CPI-M), M Tombi (JD-U), N Biren (JD-U), Th Manihar (AAP), Sabir Ahmed (AAP), Chongtham Priyokumar (MNDF), Bijoy Koijam (MNDF), S Iboyaima (NCP) and Y Iboyaima (NCP) .
