Imphal, March 27 2023:
A three-day residential training camp for volunteers of BJP Kisan Morcha, which is jointly being organised by State Training Department and BJP Kisan Morcha Manipur Pradesh, kicked off from Monday at Youth Hostel, Khuman Lampak, here.
Agriculture and power minister Th Biswajit and BJP Manipur Pradesh president A Sharda Devi attended the inaugural session of the camp as chief guest and president respectively.
In his speech, minister Biswajit said that the ideology of BJP is worthy of imitation and the party works in the interest of both the nation and state just as party founder Syama Prasad Mukherjee envisaged.
He further said that BJP workers must have the spirit of working to gether so that efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a new India could be realised.
According to minister Biswajit, Congress party had ruled India for a long time from 1972 but did nothing for development of the North East.
Apart from this, former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru gave away Kabow Valley of Manipur to Burma and did nothing for the state, he added.
Speaking on the occasion, A Sharda recalled how BJP was wrongly portrayed as anti-Manipur political party by some people during the height of the agitation against extension of ceasefire signed between Government of India and NSCN-IM without territorial limit.
An all-political party meet was held during that time and members of some political parties charged BJP of trying to balkanise Manipur.
"Taking part in the meet as a youth leader of BJP, I countered the allegation effectively," Sharda said, adding that the then BJP government reversed its own decision and deleted the word 'without territorial limit' from the ceasefire agreement in acknowledgement of the general sentiment of the people of Manipur.
Stressing the need for BJP workers to understand state issues from time to time, the BJP president maintained that there has been significant change from the time of PM Atal Behari Vajpayee to the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
