Imphal, July 28 2022:
BJP Lilong Mandal president SM Tamijur Rahaman has alleged that Lilong MLA Abdul Nasir did not provide fertilisers to some farmers of Lilong in such a crucial stage of paddy cultivation on the ground that these farmers voted for the BJP candidate in the last assembly election.
Speaking during distribution of fertilisers to farmers at the Lilong Haoreibi Mayai Leikai residence of ex-MLA Y Antash Khan on Wednesday, SM Tamijur claimed that there are reports that MLA Nasir denied fertilisers to some farmers for giving vote to BJP despite lifting 3000 bags of urea from agriculture department for distribution among the farmers of the constituency.
However, after requesting chief minister N Biren and agriculture minister Th Biswajit, 1000 bags of urea were provided which will be distributed to every farmer of the constituency irrespective of their political affiliation, he declared and maintained that in case of allotted quantity is found short of the demand then 1 kg of urea would be made available to each farmer as BJP is a party that does not differentiate on political parties.
One Abdul Gaffar, present during the distribution, said that Abdul Nasir distributed urea to farmers at polling stations of Lilong, where he went to get his share of urea.
However, the MLA said that it was meant for his workers and told to come when the next distribution is scheduled, he added.
