Imphal, December 20 2015:
Nambol Municipal Council Chair-person Heisnam Somorendro who is seeking re-election on INC ticket has accused BJP Nambol Mandal of campaigning for the local body election in a very offensive manner.
Speaking to media persons at his Nambol Sabal Leikai residence today, Somorendro said that BJP Nambol Mandal general secretary A Jiten distributed leaflets which were printed on BJP letterheads in and around Sabal Leikai yesterday.
The leaflets alleged that Congress workers were campaigning for the local body elections by distributing application forms for MUDRA loan and housing loans to voters.
But this is a fabricated, baseless allegation, Somorendro said.
MUDRA loan was introduced by BJP which is in power at the Centre and it is BJP workers who have been canvassing votes by using application forms of MUDRA loan, he alleged.
All activities related with MUDRA loan is done at the Nambol branch office of Rural Bank.
Application forms for MUDRA Bank which are not available at the bank branch are available at the office of BJP Nambol Mandal, added Somorendro.
The house where the BJP Nambol Mandal office is run is rented out by BJP Manipur Pradesh president Th Chaoba, Somorendro alleged.
He then appealed to all concerned not to carry out any malicious or misleading campaign.
He also threatened to take recourse to legal means apart for filing a complaint to the State Election Commission if the same misleading campaign goes on any longer.
Altogether 18 Municipal Councils and eight Nagar Panchayats are going to polls on January 11 .
