Thoubal, February 27 2022:
CLP leader O Ibobi has remarked that Heirok AC has now become a constituency full of deaths and violence due to wrong decision of the people to elect a BJP candidate as their representative under the impression that it would be better for the constituency.
He made the statement during a one-day political conference of INC candidate Moirangthem Okendro organised at Nongpok Sekmai AC on Sunday Ibobi said that the people had elected the representative with the hope and belief that the constituency would develop and become a new version of itself in 5 years.
However, as the choice of candidate in the last polls has proven faulty, it is time for the people to elect an INC candidate so as to put an end to the senseless violence and killings in the constituency.
The CLP leader then remarked that BJP is fearful of Congress.
Even the union ministers are afraid of Manipur, and as such, the central leaders including PM, home minister, etc., are continuously visiting the state to try and hold on to the trust of the people, which unfortunately, has declined.
He continued: "During the time of Congress, the central leaders need not visit the state so frequently.
And when they do visit, they always think about what to give back to the people of Manipur, compared to the empty hands of BJP's leaders".
In his address, Rajya Sabha MP and AICC senior spokesperson Jairam Ramesh urged the people to take a moment and look at the so-called double engine-BJP government, which is advocating reopening of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) shops.
He further urged the people to teach a lesson to the government which was formed forcefully.
Candidate M Okendro assured of addressing the issues faced by the farmers of Heirok and take up welfare projects if elected.
