Imphal/Ukhrul, May 14 2015 : Electioneering for the ensuing ADC poll in the hill areas of the State slated for June 1 is gaining momentum.

Flag hoisting programme for Paojalet Touthang, BJP candidate for Chingdai Khullen DCC of Sadar Hills ADC was held yesterday at his residence located at Canaan Veng, North AOC.

The flag was hoisted by vice-president of BJP Manipur State unit, Mangiton and attended among others by former Minister C Doungel, village chiefs and religious leaders.

Speaking at the occasion, Paojalet Touthang, who was earlier elected as member of the ADC on Congress ticket, said that he is joining the BJP due to the alleged biased conducts of the Congress party during the last term of the Council.

He said that the first chairman of Sadar Hills ADC, SH Seipu was removed from office as he was corrupt and incompetent to raise the issues of Sadar Hills in the last term.

Haokholal Hangshing replaced him as the chairman of the ADC later.

Again, a trust motion was moved against Haokholal by him as he (Haokholal) was also said to be involved in corruption, he said.

Although he (Paojalet Touthang) had the support of the majority members, the Congress party had failed to remove the chairman from his post and allowed him to continue functioning as the chairman.

Paojalet said such biased and unfair conduct of the Congress has prompted him to shift party loyalty.
