Imphal, February 23 2022:
The claim that BJP workers of MLA Karam Shyam took back GI sheets provided by the MLA to a family in Langthabal Mantrikhong Makha Leikai under Langthabal assembly constituency for not attending his flag hoisting ceremony is unfortunate, said a BJP worker Nahakpam Boboi.
Addressing a press meet at Langthabal Mantrikhong Makha Leikai on Wednesday, N Boboi stated that the charges levelled and published in the media that the GI sheets given to the family of one Okram Romita of the locality were taken back is a conspiracy.
No demand for returning the GI sheets was made from Karam Shyam's side, but the housing materials were dropped in front of the MLA's residence due to instigation by Congress workers to take political advantage.
Romita herself had approached the Langthabal MLA citing poor condition of her house and as the representative of the constituency Karam Shyam provided the GI sheets around eight months ago.
It had no connection with election, he clarified.
Boboi continued that it is very regrettable that Congress worker did nothing at the time of giving of the aid, but now at the time of election they are spreading false propaganda.
It is shameful that Langthabal Naorem Leikai Gram Panchayat pradhan A Sonanda also muddied the waters in regard to the issue without knowing the facts, Boboi added.
Boboi also condemned alleged storming of the house of Karam Shyam's worker Irom Binodini by Congress activists led by O Joy's worker K Indrajit on Tuesday.
