CCpur, September 09 2016:
Village chiefs of Henglep area today hosted a reception programme for Letzamang Haokip following his announcement to contest the upcoming Assembly poll to liberate one of the most backward regions in the State from the grasp of poverty and isolation.
The reception event at B Vengnom Community Hall here was also paired up with a political conference for the BJP workers under Henglep AC and attended by several junior leaders from the party.
The meeting witnessed a packed hall and many village chiefs � 115 was claimed by the organisers, rallying behind the event.
State unit president of the BJP K Bhabananda however informed The Sangai Express that no permission has been taken to hold the reception in the name of the BJP.
He said that there is a blanket ban on holding such events before the arrival of BJP president Amit Shah.
A senior official at the DRDA Churachandpur, Letzamang Haokip said he was astonished by the support the chiefs of Henglep AC has showered upon him following his expression of interest in foraying into the electoral politics.
He said the pitiable living conditions of the people, the backwardness of the region and misutilisation of the public funds by people who matters for the region are the motives that drag into the political arena.
"I have walked and seen the length and breadth of the region being with the DRDA.
I am saddened by what I have seen.
The pitiable living condition, the living standard and the absence of any signs of development and the inhospitable roads give me no choice but to leave the comfort of my office and begin working to liberate the region which is positioned less than 50 kms from the district headquarters yet so far from the lights of development," he said.
