Bishnupur, September 16 2021:
Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee president N Loken has said that as he considers the post assigned to him by party leaders as a challenge he will work sincerely to strengthen the party in Manipur.
Stating this during a felicitation function organised in honour of his appointment to MPCC president post at Nambol Thursday, L Loken said Congress party would secure majority in the 2022 elections and form the next government as people of the state are now fully aware of false promises made by BJP leaders before 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly election.
BJP leaders promised to develop Imphal-Jiri road to the level of landing aeroplane but people of the state are now fully aware of the bad condition of the road at present, he added.
The present BJP led coalition government claims of uniform development in the hills and valley and return of peace in the state but in reality it is totally contradictory.
BJP is voicing that homeless people in both rural and urban areas of the country have been given dwelling houses at free of cost since the coming of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government at the Centre but these houses are yet to be completed still, Loken said adding that it would be impossible for poor people struggling to earn for two square meals a day to construct a house by contributing Rs 50,000 prior to crediting the same amount to his/her bank account.
BJP is sure to suffer defeat in the 2022 elections and Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government at the Centre would not return after the 2024 polls.
The pace of development and economy were going smoothly during the Congress regime with clear-cut policies and programmes but BJP government distorted these policies and programmes and its effect is being experienced by the people today, Loken said and claimed that people of the country are now benefiting from various schemes launched during the Congress regime.
The MPCC president further alleged BJP government of muzzling media and always ready to arrest media persons whenever they write against the government.
According to Loken, the BJP-led government claims of providing benefits of CMHT and PMJAY to people but in real ity these schemes were launched after the government collected huge profit from the people by hiking petroleum and cooking gas prices and GST.
India is a secular country but organisations like RSS are strongly pushing for one religion, one language agenda to make the country a Hindu only nation thereby undermining the essence of secularism, he added.
