Imphal, February 16, 2013:
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been tried and tested in the country and even in the State of Manipur, but it failed miserably.
People have lost all hope on BJP and there is no further hope of it coming to power at the Centre anymore, Lok Sabha MP from Inner Manipur Parliamentary Constituency Thangso Baite has exclaimed.
In an exclusive interview with Hueiyen Lanpao, MP Thangso Baite expressed confidence that the Congress led UPA government would continue to rule at the Centre for many years to come and it would be just the same in the North East.
For the Congress ruling firmly at the Centre as well as in the State, there is nothing such as like preparation for the upcoming Lok Sabha election due in 2014.The Congress is always ready for fighting any election at any given point of time, he asserted.
Responding to a query, Thangso Baite stated that the Central Government has taken the issue of Inner Line Permit (ILP) seriously and is studying thoroughly with due cognizance of the sentiments of the people of Manipur.
It will not take any hasty decisions, he added.
Regarding the delay over mending Imphal-Jiri road by BRO, the MP informed that in addition to submission of memorandum to the Union Minister of Road and Transport Minister, he had discussed the matter with the Minister and even urged him to remove BRO from the work.
