Imphal, October 10 2014 : Manipur People's Party (MPP) today slammed the Manipur Government and appealed to the electorate of Hiyanglam,, which goes to by-poll on October 17, to overthrow the ruling Congress the same way the BJP routed it in the recent Lok Sabha election.

Congress is no longer a big party in India since it recorded the worst defeat in the Lok Sabha polls, MPP chief N Sovakiran said at an election rally for party candidate Mayengbam Amutombi held at Lamjao Tejpur Public Community Hall in Kakching.

Congress's pathetic performance in the election to the 16th Lok Sabha was because of its involvement in wide- scale corruption, fraud and a number of scams, Sovakiran accused.

He alleged that the Congress indulged in bribery and corruption during the past decade of its rule and the public money they took fraudulently was then used in the Nation election.

The Congress was involved in the biggest ever graft case in the country, the MPP president said and appealed to the electorate of Hiyanglam to give their verdict against the Congress in the upcoming by-poll.

Congress will try to sway votes through money power, the leader of MPP, which ruled the State for two terms, said and called on the Hiyanglam public not to believe the Congress.

He also attacked the Manipur Trinamool Congress, saying the regional party is not accepted in other States with the exception of West Bengal and hence the party should not struggle to find a foothold in Manipur.

A host of MPP leaders including party candidate Amutombi also addressed the rally.
