Imphal, January 31, 2012: MPP candidate in Nambol AC Th Chaoba has alleged that some personnel of Nambol police station have been working hands in gloves with INC candidate N Loken and cohorts in harassing and threatening voters who did not support Congress party.

Nevertheless, the former MP claimed that Peoples Democratic Party (PDF), the alliance of five political parties, would form the next Government in Manipur.

Speaking to media persons at MPP office here this afternoon, Chaoba said that Congress candidates will not win even 10 seats out of the 40 Assembly segments of the valley districts.

In Bishnupur district, Congress would not win more than one seat.

Congress would be represented by the same figure in Imphal West district too.

He went on to predict that out of the seven Assembly segments within Imphal Municipal Council Congress can win 2 seats at the most.

Though he could not say for sure how many seats Congress would win out of the 20 Assembly segments of hill districts, Chaoba maintained that the number Congress MLAs this time would be lower than the 9th Assembly.

Further launching a scathing attack at his rival INC candidate, Chaoba said that N Loken's brother-in-law who is an SI and currently posted at Nambol PS together with his sub-ordinate police personnel have been harassing people who did not give votes to Congress party by levelling fabricated charges.

He sought immediate attention of the DGP and the Bishnupur SP into such unwarranted harassment of innocent people and indulgence in electoral politics by a serving police officer and his subordinates.

Even after the election was over, Loken's brother-in-law Inaoba and his armed cohorts burnt down huts built on fish farms and sties in addition to feasting on pigs reared by people who were supporters of MPP on January 30. Moreover, Inaoba and his cohorts thrashed and threatened the MPP supporters to leave their native villages, Chaoba further alleged.
