AAP can work only if people are honestly open for a change.

"If the people in the Government have a bit of concern for the common people in this stage of modernisation, our beautiful house wives or daughters will not be still fetching water from ponds, lakes, fountains and carrying it on their heads or arms.
No students will be studying under the poor glow of candles and lantern and no petrol and diesel or K oil would be openly sold on the roadside at an exorbitant price," stated K Zou.
"Manipur is the only State in the Northeast without an inter-state transport bus services.
The entire public transport system from three wheelers to buses in all the districts is completely monopolised by the local associations.
How did the Government allow private operators to charge helpless passengers of Rs 500 for a distance of 110 Km (Imphal-Moreh)? When thousands of acres of land and settlement areas are submerged by water for the Loktak Project and the Khuga Dam, Singda Dam, etc.
how is it that there is no sufficient supply of water and electricity in the state?," K Zou asked.
He appealed to the Government of Manipur to improve its constitutional obligation towards the welfare of the people.
