Imphal, February 17 2017:
Heingang A/C All India Trinamool Congress candidate Pangeijam Saratchandra has asked why the BJP and the Congress, despite being able to announce demonetisation and creation of seven news districts in a single night respectively, are not able to end the economic blockade imposed on the National Highways by the United Naga Council (UNC) .
At a flag hoisting ceremony at his residence Saratchandra stamped both the BJP and the Congress party as opportunists pointing towards their inability to end the ongoing blockade.
He said, "If they cared about the people, they would have tried their best to bring an end to the economic blockade.
"The people need to wake up, open their eyes and see the lies spouted by BJP and the Congress who pretend to care for them", he added.
All India Trinamool Congress National leaders, candidates and supporters and workers of Saratchandra were present at the event.
Meitei Nationalist Party leader Brahmacharimayum Angousana Sharma also gave permission to his party members to join AITC.
