Imphal, December 04 2011:
MPCC president Gaikhangam has stated that a Congress-led Government would be formed for the third consecutive term in Manipur after the 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly elections.
The party working in the interest of the people would be certainly elected to power and yesterday's event at Kangla has brightened the Congress party's prospect all the more, Gaikhangam claimed.
Speaking to media persons at Congress Bhavan here this afternoon, Gaikhangam conveyed gratitude to all the people who came out to welcome Prime Minister Sonia Gandhi and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi amidst bandhs and general strikes called by different groups.
With the consistent support and assistance from the Central Government, the State Government has successfully executed several projects which were never envisioned in the past.
People's appreciation of the Congress-led Government was reflected clearly in the huge gathering that welcomed Dr Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi at Kangla which was unprecedented, Gaikhangam stated.
Claiming that Central Government has been impressed with the performance of the SPF Government, the MPCC president informed that the State Government would put forward many more projects before the Central Government.
He also appealed to all groups to cooperate together while implementing development projects irrespective of diverse political affiliations or ideological differences.
Pointing that the Prime Minister himself had clarified on the Supra State body report after the Union Home Minister had rejected the same report as baseless, the MPCC president asserted that the people need not worry any more.
There is no change to the Congress party's stand which is in power both at the Centre and the State to safeguard the integrity of Manipur.
He further informed that MPCC would request both Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and AICC president Sonia Gandhi to visit Manipur once more, this time for election campaigning.
Gaikhangam confided that their request would be responded positively.
