Imphal, February 26 2022:
Chief minister N Biren has ruled out any possibility of BJP involving UG organisations under Suspension of Operation (SoO) to influence electors in favour of the party's candidates.
Addressing a press meet at party's office here on Saturday, Biren said that the statement of KNO could be their own opinion and it might have come out of their love and support for BJP.
However, BJP did not instigate or use any UG organisations to coerce electors and so he can do nothing in this regard, he said.
Regarding the party's manifesto, Biren said that it was prepared after collecting extensive suggestions and opinions from different sections of the public and it includes a roadmap for development and welfare of the people in the state for the next five years.
The support and love that the party is getting from the public is due to the good performance of the government in the last five years.
Public support is important in bringing peace and development and the government can do nothing without their support.

In the last five years, BJP has not only expedited development but also let the people to live with dignity.
Various assistance have been provided to poor families and women, at least to some extent, he said.
The CM further said that his government experienced a bandh and blockade free term due to the sincerity and commitment in bringing equitable development in both hills and vally while at the same time bringing closer the ties among different communities.
The sincere efforts of his government resulted in support from hill leaders, CSOs and churches to BJP, he said and recalled how hill people helped the valley people with vegetables and fruits during the pandemic.
