Imphal, November 08 2016:
The State unit of the BJP has come out strongly against politicising the National Sports University (NSU) issue by Chief Minister O Ibobi adding that it is a 'deliberate attempt by the Congress party led Government to hide its complete failure to ensure transparent, efficient and peaceful acquisition of land for setting up the NSU' .
In a statement, State unit BJP president Ksh Bhabananda said that the land acquisition process is mired in corruption charges on account of indirect land purchase.
The people affected by the wrongful acquisition have been protesting against the State Government ever since and they have been demanding adequate compensation.
Stating that BJP, Manipur wants an expeditious start of the campus and adding that it fully supports setting up the proposed varsity on any plot of land, where there is no objection, the statement said that NSU is a dream project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The State BJP will not allow the Congress Government to delay the project by politicising it on flimsy ground, it said and added that this is the official stand of the BJP.
