Imphal, February 06 2022:
Asserting that the time of former chief minister of Manipur O Ibobi, who won election from Thoubal A/C is over, Janata Dal-United candidate in Thoubal A/C Irom Chaoba said that he resolved to contest the election fully aware of the situation.
Speaking to media persons at his Thoubal Leishangthem residence on Sunday, Chaoba recounted that he contested Manipur Legislative Assembly election in 2002 on Nationalist Congress Party ticket but lost the election.
Later, he did not contest the next elections as it would be hard to compete against Ibobi.
Observing the present situation, it can be concluded that the time of Okram Ibobi is over.
As such, he will contest the upcoming election from JDU, Chaoba reasoned.
Exuding happiness over getting JDU ticket which is an alliance at the centre, he assured of taking up several development programmes for Thoubal Leishangthem which is lacking in several sectors.
