In a bid to woo the electorates of 43-Phungyar (ST) A/C, Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs attended a mega public rally at Kamjong HQ as chief guest yesterday in support of Somi Awangshi, BJP candidate of the constituency for the forthcoming Assembly election.

He stressed on the need to have a clean Government for speedy development in the constituency.
The Union Minister deplored the pitiable condition of roads in the constituency, saying the roads which were there duirng the World War II are still used by the people.
Lamenting on the poor road connectivity in the district, he appealed to the people to dethrone the "corrupt" Congress Government from the State.
If elected to the power BJP Government will provide potable water to all the citizens of Manipur, he announced.
He also articulated the welfare programmes initiated by PM Narendra Modi.
Somi Awungshi thanked the Union Minister for coming to the remote sub-division to campaign for him inspite of the latter's tight schedule.
He said that he joined BJP party because it is a corruption-free party.
He assured that if he is voted to power he will bring all round development which the present Congress Government has failed to deliver.
