Imphal, February 14 2022:
Pointing out that the BJP government has been claiming of bringing peace in the state, National People's Party Manipur working president and MLA L Jayantakumar has said that the government needs to clarify on its agenda against repealing AFSPA from the state despite claims of restoring peace.
The flag hoisting ceremony of NPP candidate in Singjamei A/C Oinam Romen was held at his Singjamei Oinam Thingel residence on Monday followed by a public meeting at Oinam Thingel Lairembi Lampak.
Addressing the gathering, MLA L Jayantakumar asked the BJP government to explain to the people regarding its reluctance to withdraw AFSPA from the state.
Stating that power of women has been rectifying the wrongs in the society, he observed that the presence of more women in the meeting indicates that Oinam Romen will surely win the election.
Candidate Oinam Romen said that he has been working for the people and provided livelihood to several youth and women of the constituency who do not have any means of income.
The failure of the incumbent representative of the constituency to frame policies for youth and women has left many in bewilderment, he contended.
The event was attended by executives of NPP and supporters of Romen.
Similarly, a flag hoisting ceremony of NPP candidate in Patsoi A/C RK Rameshwar was held at his residence located at Changangei on Monday.
Speaking at the ceremony, Rk Rameshwar claimed that NPP and INC will be the parties which will be fighting closely in Patsoi A/C in the ensuing general election and NPP will win the election by a margin of 3,000 votes.
He assured of providing potable drinking water to the people and proper road connectivity.
While nullifying the claims that Manipur does not have resources, he said that resource should be created and ideas should be formed after developing human resources.
NPP candidate in Kakching AC M Rameshwar conducted his flag hoisting ceremony at his Kakching Makha Lou residence.
During the ceremony, he said that he already started taking up several welfare programmes for the people of his constituency when he was an MIA of the constituency.
Yet, there are several activities he wishes for the people.
He said that there is no reason to choose between BJP and Congress only for contesting the election.
Political parties will not ensure win in the election but the votes of the people, he maintained.
Furthermore, the flag hoisting ceremony of Langthabal A/C NPP candidate Karam Nabakishore alias Basanta was held at his residence located at Langthabal Kunja.
Karam Nabakishore observed that the people of Langthabal will not cast their votes based on party in the ensuing state assembly election.
Instead they will vote by analysing the works of the candidates and their personalities.
Flag hoisting ceremony of NPP candidate in Yaiskul A/C Huidrom Vikramjit was also held at his Wangkhei Thangjam Leirak residence.
Later, a public meeting was conducted at Kongba Ola ground.
Speaking during the meeting, Vikramjit, who is also NPP, Manipur vice president, said that the BJP led government is filled with misdeeds.
The economy of the state is in a bad shape and the government has not been able to pay the salary of its employees and pensions properly, he continued, while adding that Manipur will lead into a dark future if such government continues.
