Imphal, May 18 2015 :
BJP candidate in 20- Mapao DCC of Sadar Hills ADC L Kaikam has alleged that democracy has no meaning in the particular DCC as the particular seat was always won by candidates backed by armed groups.
Speaking at a flag hoisting ceremony held at his Purum Likli residence today, Kaikam said that people of Mapao DCC have not tasted the true essence of democracy till date.
"I was determined to fight the ADC election last time too but I had to withdraw at the last minute, and the rival candidate got elected unchallenged", Kaikam said.
Given the volatile situation, people of Mapao DCC have fallen in a precarious condition.
It is a matter of shame that ADC Members have been travelling around in luxury cars attached with flag posts.
No Zilla Parishad Member indulges in such pompous and showy behaviour, he asserted.
He went on to question the amount received by ADC Members as honorarium and how they managed to purchase such expensive cars.
He also whether they were people's representatives or proxies of armed groups.
Former Minister C Doungel, BJP Sadar Hills president Thangkholen Haokip, BJP Saikul Mandal president Seikholet Singson and BJP Sadar Hills Youth Morcha vice-president Ramthar Zimik were also present at the flag hoisting ceremony.
