Chief Minister O Ibobi has conveyed gratitude to all the people of Thoubal AC for supporting him for the past 10 years and for enabling him to serve the people of Manipur.
The Chief Minister was speaking at his own flag hoisting ceremony held today at the residence of Ningombam Gojen at Thoubal Ningombam.
Before hoisting the Congress party's flag, Ibobi paid offered prayers at the sacred shrines of Thoubal Ningthou Ibudhou located at Thoubal Nongangkhong and Thoubal Ningombam.
He also offered prayers to the ancestors of Okram clan at Thoubal Heibongthabam.
Speaking at the flag hoisting ceremony, Ibobi maintained that BJP is involved in the prolonged economic blockade and all the sinister conspiracies hatched by some elements by taking advantage of the creation of seven new districts.
Stating that conspiracies are aimed at creating animosity between the hill people and plain people, Ibobi asserted that BJP has been working to disintegrate Manipur.
The people of Manipur know very well the underlying meaning of BJP leader Himanta Biswa's statement, "Let there be BJP Government in Manipur just for two days, we would get the blockade lifted".
He then appealed to all the people to support Congress irrespective of religions, ethnicity and race so as to safeguard the integrity of Manipur.
