Imphal, November 14 2021:
Ex-minister and BJP intending candidate in Sagolband AC for the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly election Kh Loken has said that snatching of food from a person just when it is about to be eaten would leave the snatcher beaten up with kitchen utensil.
Kh Loken made this remark, sarcastically, in his reaction to joining of incumbent Sagolband MLA RK Imo to BJP at a time when the assembly election is just few months away.
Joining of a successful Congress representative to BJP when the party has been fully strengthened in Sagolband AC is akin to snatching food when it is about to be taken and people of the constituency would not succumb to whims and aspirations of a person who dishonour people, Loken said during a discussion meet held to strengthen BJP in Sagolband AC ahead of 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly election.
Addressing gathering at the meet held in front of his residence on Sunday, Kh Loken said that he joined BJP in 2016 and launched an effective movement to strengthen the party but eventually lost by just 19 votes to Congress candidate (RK Imo) in the 2017 assembly election.
Despite the defeat in the election, activities and programmes to strengthen the party in Sagolband continued unabated till date, he said and claimed that BJP is now fully strengthened in Sagolband AC under his initiative.
The discussion meet was also attended by BJP Sagolband Mandal president Dr H Ruhinikumar Sharma, former BJP Manipur Pradesh president Sh Shantikumar, BJP Imphal Central Mandal vice president N Surjabarna and ex-minister S Natum.
