Imphal, January 24, 2012:
BJP vice-president and former MP Dr Najma Heptulla has categorically stated that only a non-Congress Government can bring changes in Manipur.
Speaking to media persons here today, Dr Najma appealed to political parties other than Congress to forge an alliance and work together to form a coalition Government in Manipur.
Even as Congress party has been ruling the country for the last 50 years, neither development nor any change could be seen in the North East region including Manipur.
In addition to backwardness in terms of transport infrastructure, electricity, unemployment, healthcare etc, people of Manipur have been living under a very insecure atmosphere.
The Congress Govt could not check issues of bandhs and blockades nor could it control violence.
In short, the Government did nothing for the people, Dr Najma asserted.
To a query whether BJP would go with Left parties, she said that the option would be studied after the election results are declared.
BJP State unit vice-president Prof S Tikendra , quoting CNN-IBN, demanded that enquiries should be conducted into the false or misleading information given by candidates in their affidavits about their assets.
Furnishing false or misleading information about the candidates' assets was tantamount to making a mockery of the public, Prof Tikendra remarked.
CBI, Enforcement Directorate or other related agencies should probe into these cases, he demanded.
