Imphal, January 25 2017:
Congress intending candidate from Heingang AC has today urged Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee to allot party ticket for Heingang AC to deserving candidate.
Speaking to mediapersons at Manipur Press Club, Paonam Sunder, intending Congress candidate said, "I quit BJP on October 26, 2016 and was accorded warm welcome by Congress.
Yan glem Mangi, former member of BJP also joined Congress and is now one of the Congress intending candidates fro Heingang AC" .
In the meantime, former BJP member Pangeijam Sarat is also an intending Congress candidate from Heingang AC.
It has been alleged that Paonam Sunder, Yanglem Mangi and Pangeijam Sarat have resolved to appeal MPCC to give the party ticket to Sarat" .
He maintained that the rumour is baseless and there was no agreement as alleged by some people.
"On the other hand, Kapu, another intending Congress intending candidate has been telling people that he will be the one to contest in the election from Heingang AC on Congress ticket as there is no other party representative.
Kapu should refrain from making such statement and instead work together to strengthen the party," he stated.
He further said, "Some people have been taking advantage of the ongoing economic blockade and attacking the Chief Minister.
Chief Minister alone should not be held responsible for the present volatile in the State.
Transporting some fuel through cargo aircraft by the Centre and bragging about it will not work.
Centre and any political party, if they have concern for the people of the State, should provide all necessary assistance to resolve the issue instead of criticizing the Chief Minister.
In order to strengthen the party and ensure victory in the election, party tickets should be given only to deserving candidates, he asserted.
