Imphal, February 11 2022:
Flag hoisting ceremony of Indian National Congress candidate from Saitu assembly constituency Dr Lamtinthang Haokip was held at Bethlehem Veng in Kangpokpi district on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Lamtinthang urged all to support him in making the constituency inhabited by various communities a peaceful and harmonious place and turn it into a model AC.
Stating that he is not contesting the election to earn money or rule over people, he called upon the public to be aware of candidates who are trying to buy votes using money embezzled from public funds.
The AC often witnesses rise in tension among different villages, clans and religions during election time.
Such tension should be avoided and the denizens should vote for Congress and help him in supporting them so as to bring development in the constituency, he further appealed.
Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president N Loken, who was also present at the programme, asserted that secular Congress' Dr Lamtinthang is the most eligible candidate in the AC.
Public should not sell their voting rights if they want change and vote for Lamtinthang, he added.
The function was also attended by AICC Manipur in charge Bhakta Charan Das and MPCC general secretary (Organisation) Tilotama.
