Imphal, January 12:
Setting the agenda clear, BJP vice president Thawarchand Gehlot today launched a broadside at the Congress led UPA Govt at the one day State level BJP political training camp at Narsingh Mandap at Singjamei Naorem Leikai.
Addressing the party cadres, Gehlot said that ever since the UPA Govt came to power, economic progress has been a downslide and added that development has come to a screeching halt all over India, including Manipur.
During the days of the BJP led Government, the Centre had set up a separate Ministry to over see the development of the North Eastern States and many packages were released.
However all the good work done by the NDA Government has today come to nought, he added.
Gehlot, who is also in charge of the North Eastern States further said that the time is just right to strengthen the BJP as the UPA Government is sure to be defeated in the next Parliamentary election.
The State unit of the BJP should also work overtime to strengthen the party so that a BJP led Govt may be installed after the next Assembly election, he exhorted.
Taking pot shots at the State Govt, Gehlot said that the Congress led SPF Government is today synonymous with corruption and all development works have taken a backseat because of the deep rooted corruption.
A huge amount of money released by the Centre has been pocketed by the SPF leaders, he further charged.
Another BJP leader Tadir, who is also in charge of Manipur accused the SPF Govt of rampant corruption and added that this has derailed all developmental projects.
