Notably, John Manga, K James, Sword Vashum, T Zangkhomang Haokip, KS Ngaite, W Lalkholam Hangshing and Tongmang Haokip have been vying for Congress ticket in Outer Manipur PC.
Neinu Kipgen of Kangpokpi District Mahila Congress said that Congress party was almost uprooted from Kangpokpi district and it was revived after much struggle.
Congress party was almost uprooted from Kangpokpi district after one MLA elected on Congress ticket defected to BJP while another Congress MLA grew very weak, she said.
Nonetheless, Congress party has been steadily reviving in the district.
Given the present political scenario, John Manga is deserves the Congress ticket more than any one else, Neinu Kipgen said.
She asserted that it would not be right to give Congress ticket to any other contender.
John Manga said that it was the blessings given by people residing in many far off and remote places over the past many years which inspired him to contest the Lok Sabha election.
The most crucial element in contesting any election is the people's support.
He said that he has been vying for Congress ticket as the party believes in secularism.
The party's ticket is also important but what is more important is the people's support, John Manga added.
