Ukhrul, October 15 2021:
Ceremonial Blessing programme of BJP intending candidate and ex-MLA 45-Chingai AC Dr Khashim Ruivah was held at Awortang Somdal village, Ukhrul.
The former MLA sought the blessing of his native village to start his election campaign in time to bring victory for the people of Chingai Assembly Constituency.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Ruivah expressed his intention to participate in the upcoming Manipur State Assembly Election 2022 through BJP ticket.
He stated that unlike other political parties of the country, BJP has a systematic pattern in selection of the party candidates while adding that the ticket would be issued only after examining the individual's allegiance to the party, potential & capabilities in dealing with public affairs, etc.
He also clarified on the misconception about the BJP and mentioned that it is a political party and has nothing to do with religion.
BJP is not against Christianity but is a party that understands the people's sentiments.
Dr Ruivah further expressed his joy in seeing the support and encouragement of the people and stated that the people's aspirations for growth and development could be achieved only when the voters choose the right representative during election.
Headman, pastors, chairman and several elders of the area assured their support to Dr Ruivah in the coming election.
The programme was attended by village headman, chairman, pastors, deacons, VAs and clan leaders.
