Ukhrul, March 14 2014 :
Goa deputy chief minister Francis P D'Souza on Friday impressed upon the people in the state with an appealing slogan "New Hope, New Manipur" and exuded confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would give a good fight against the arch-rival Congress party in the ensuing parliamentary polls.
In a BJP political conference in Ukhrul town hall on Friday, Goa deputy chief minister Francis P D'Souza, who arrived from Imphal after a meeting at Noney yesterday, expressed utter dismay over the prevailing conditions in the state.
"�so disappointed and sad to see that no development is visible�what has happened to Manipur?" he asked.

"I didn't see a change in Manipur�ruled by the Congress for many years.
Time for change has come," said Francis, a Christian legislator elected on BJP ticket.
Goa deputy CM attended as chief guest of the political conference held in a packed town hall and vociferously campaigned for BJP outer Manipur seat candidate Prof.Gangumei Kamei, who was also the guest of honour this morning.
He stated that for good governance there is a need "�to bring good and honest people in politics," while referring to Prof.Gangumei as the right choice.
"Goa is the best welfare state in India�it's because of the good BJP politician" .
Former ministers Dr.Khashim Ruivah and Danny Shaiza were also present and addressed the gathering vouching for a need to elect a person committed to tribal rights and interest.
Other party dignitaries included state BJP unit secretary Ashwani Kumar Singh and spokesperson Soso Shaiza among others.
In his fervent appeal to the electorates in Ukhrul, former minister Prof.Gangumei highlighted what the BJP can usher in for the people in Manipur.
He said the party can bring good governance, development in terms of sports, education and eco-tourism, and safeguarding the international boundary of the state.
He also re-highlighted dreams and plans of Narendra Modi, BJP's prime ministerial candidate, for hill people of the state while recalling the 3H formula of the saffron leader.
State BJP unit secretary Singh ridiculed the incumbent MP Thangso Baite for creating record of speaking only for 15-minute in the entire 5-year term in the august house of Parliament.
To stir clear of the persisting propaganda that the saffron party is communal, Goa deputy CM said there are six Christian legislators elected from BJP and four of Congress in the small Southern state.
He also lambasted the Congress party arguing that the latter has ruined the country, while quoting a maxim "we are a rich nation, poor people" .
