Imphal, March 03 2022:
Langthabal Block Congress Committee and INC candidate for Langthabal AC O Joy's election committee have strongly refuted the statement made by BJP candidate Karam Shyam in media that BJP workers of Langthabal AC were threatened by Congress supporters.
On Thursday, election committee spokesperson Thoudam Gyanendro told media persons held at O Joy's residence that the allegation levelled by Karam Shyam against one Laishram Gopeshor (Giri) of threatening BJP agent at polling station No 20/18 was baseless.
Giri is an employee of state assembly secretariat and how could he be a Congress worker, Gyanendro questioned, while adding Giri was only assisting presiding officer of the polling station and he did not threatened anyone inside the polling station.
On the other hand, Meira Paibi of Asem Leikai and Sorokhaibam Leikai clarified that there was no incident of thrashing BJP polling agents at 20/4 Sorokhaibam Leikai polling station as alleged by Karam Shyam.
According to local Meira Paibi secretary Pukhrambam Amu, there was no clash but local people were furious when one Robiri Blackie tried to create tension in the area by bringing a group of people.
She then appealed to Karam Shyam not to make irresponsible statement through media.
