Imphal, May 07 2017:
Even as the BJP-led coalition Government has set up an anti-corruption cell (ACC) with the purported objective of checking corruption, people have started talking openly about percentage cuts at the ACC, stated Congress MLA Ak Mirabai.
She was speaking at a felicitation function organised by Patsoi Block Congress Committee in her honour at Tabungkhok today.
Although it is commendable that the Government has opened an ACC with the purported objective of eradicating corruption from the State, people have started asking the degree of corruption at the ACC.
Even though the incumbent Government is yet to complete 100 days in office, people's scepticism has been rising day by day, Mirabai remarked.
Appealing to the gathering to wait for sometime and see if the Government's actions and words are corresponding with each other, Mirabai stated that people have already started analysing BJP's political dynamics and policy orientations.
The way BJP forcibly formed Government even though they were able to win just 21 seats evoked a serious question regarding the future of Manipur.
Congress party emerged as the single largest party after the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly election but the party was not invited to form the Government.
Instead, BJP which won only 21 seats was facilitated to form a coalition Government after overlooking all the rules and norms of the Constitution.
This was nothing but gross abuse of power, she decried.
People should not have any misgiving that Congress party would not be able to perform just because it is sitting on the Opposition bench.
Mirabai then claimed that she would execute different works within Patsoi AC not less than the works she executed during the previous term.
People would not face problems of safe drinking water in any part of Patsoi AC.
Meanwhile, efforts have been initiated to improvise drainage systems, she said.
She also conveyed gratitude to all the people of Patsoi AC for electing her to the Manipur Legislative Assembly for the second consecutive term.
