Imphal, January 25 2015:
Carrying forward its mass enrolment campaign, BJP Manipur Pradesh has appealed to the electorate of Manipur to enrol themselves in the party in order to topple the Congress Government and establish a clean and transparent Government in the State.
Speaking at a mass enrolment programme held at Phayeng Cultural Hall under the aegis of BJP Sekmai Mandal today, BJP National executive member Sh Shantikumar claimed that people have started anticipating the inevitable fall of the incumbent Congress Government.
As a result of incorporating Imphal-Jiribam highway in the 100 days programmes announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, major portions of the highway are being repaired in a commendable manner.
Even as the Government of India has already sanctioned establishment of a National Sports University in Manipur, the State Government has been sleeping over the matter, Shantikumar alleged.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was determined to lay the foundation stone of the National Sports University when he came to Imphal to attend the closing ceremony of the Manipur Sangai Festival 2014 .
But the Prime Minister's plan was negated by Chief Minister O Ibobi's obstinacy to build the sports university at a controversial place.
Questioning Ibobi's reluctance to build the sports university at a place where there is no controversy or objection, Shantikumar asserted that the Chief Minister should be held accountable if the university is taken to another State.
He further appealed to all the electorate to help strengthen the BJP in Manipur by enrolling in BJP Manipur Pradesh so that the corrupt Congress Government is toppled to make way for a clean and transparent Government led by BJP.
Former Minister N Biren said that enrolment programme was specifically organised so that a BJP candidate can be fielded in Sekmai A/C in the next State Assembly election.
He pledged that he would work towards igniting a green revolution in Manipur valley provided BJP is elected to power in the next Assembly election.
Meanwhile, the death anniversary of Rajamata Vijayaraje Scindia was observed today at the Awang Wabagai residence of former Assembly election candidate P Pakchao under the aegis of Lamsang BJP Mandal.
BJP Mahila Morcha general secretary L Boby, general secretary (administration) M Ashnikumar and Potsangbam Gram Panchayat Pradhan M Mangi were also present at the death anniversary function.
