These conceited and self-seeking MLAs who are elected by people with lots of expectations have been making a mockery of democracy, Ibobi decried .

The Anti-Defection Law was enacted after amending the 10th Schedule of the Constitution in 1985 .
However, some MLAs who won elections on the tickets of a political party defected to another party even before completing five years in their own personnel interest thereby reducing the whole exercise of election to a farce .
At the same time, some parties have been encouraging this ugly trend of party-hopping in their efforts to form Government by hook or crook .
Fortunes of a political party changes from time to time in a democracy.
Congress party does not have any remorse for sitting on opposition bench for sometime.
Congress is the biggest political party in the world and it would never disappear like a bubble, Ibobi stated.
Congress workers would work relentlessly to strengthen the party .
Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi understood every early the pivotal role Information Technology would play in the country's development and he plan-ned accordingly.
No coun- try can advance far without taking Information Technology into the scheme of things, Ibobi remarked .
Many Congress MLAs and MPCC office bearers attended the birth anniversary function where they paid floral tributes to the photograph of Rajiv Gandhi.
