Imphal, February 10 2022:
Janata Dal (United) candidate for Phungyar AC Wungnaoshang Ashang Kasar has contended that the budget should be prepared in accordance with the topography so as to ensure equal development of the hills and the valley.
On Thursday, the flag hoisting ceremony along with the launch of election campaign for Ashang was held at his Macheng Lamlongei residence.
Ashang stressed the need for equal development of the hills and the valley.
Although the expenditure has increased, the budget of the two is still the same.
Additionally, the flaws of the leaders and the system as a whole is causing disparity in the development of the state.
To rectify this system, concerted efforts are needed, he said, while adding that it would be wrong not to change the status quo just because the changes may not be reflected immediately.
He then said that JD(U) will take a huge role in the formation of the new government and contended that the party is not the "Team-B" of any party.
