Imphal, July 06 2021:
Chief spokesperson of BJP, State unit Chongtham Bijoy has categorically stated that the primary reason for the recent visit of the party's National general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh was to assist the State Government in Covid related works.
Speaking to media persons, Bijoy rejected the Congress claim that the recent visit of BJP National team was only to chalk out poll strategies and that the party (BJP) has no consideration for the people.
Saying that the BJP State unit is strongly against the allegations of the Congress party, he asserted that the Congress leaders seem to be not going through the papers where the purpose of the National leader visit was highlighted.
Bijoy further stated that the team deputed by the Centre to the State recently collected a detailed report of the Covid situation, manner of handling the pandemic from the party State unit and the progress of Seva Hi Sangathan implementation in Manipur.
The same feedback might have been collected from the State Government too, he added.
Maintaining that he had donated edibles to over three thousand Covid affected households, Bijoy continued that other BJP workers are also reaching out to the masses at their own capacity.
The allegations that the visit of the National leader was only to chalk out strategies for the Assembly elections is unfounded and it aims at confusing the people, he said.
Bijoy also rejected the charge that the Central team visiting the State to assess Covid situations here is due to the flaws in Covid management.
He also asserted that the people of Manipur have full faith in BJP.
Markets are already opened in other States but not so in Manipur due to late emergence of the second wave here, Bijoy reasoned.
Charging that Congress is a double standard party and it is in their DNA, Bijoy asked why the Congress is not demanding to reduce the Value Added Tax levied on fuel in Congress ruled States.
