Premita was felicitated at the state BJP office here.
Manipur Pradesh BJP president Th Chaoba said that a new face of change had been brought in Manipur after Narendra Modi headed NDA Government came to power at the Centre.
Congress stalwarts like Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh and Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam campaigned for their party's candidate, but the voters had given the clear mandate to the BJP, Chaoba said.
Chaoba said he was also confident of winning the upcoming Hiyanglam constituency by-election scheduled for October 15 .
He said Hiyanglam A/C in Thoubal district would be declared as "Modi constituency" if BJP gets the seat.
Hiyanglam seat has been left vacant after its sitting MLA Maibam Kunjo of Manipur Pradesh Trinamool Congress Committee (MPTCC) passed away recently.
