Imphal, October 24 2016:
Congress MLA K Ranjit has slammed Congress MLAs who have defected from the party and joined the BJP.
Speaking at the inaugural function of a newly constructed community hall at Thoubal Haokha Mamang, K Ranjit said that the defectors were earlier blaming BJP for conspiring to disintegrate Manipur but after they joined BJP they started making completely contradictory statements.
Parliamentary Secretary K Meghachandra, MLA Okram (O) Landhoni, Thoubal Municipal Council vice-chairperson Kh Thambal and Manipur University of Culture Librarian Dr Th Khomdon were also present at the inaugural function.
In a democratic country, electioneering should be carried out with utmost respect and love for citizens.
But some people have been carrying out electioneering activities by threatening voters, Ranjit said.

Administration of a State like Manipur where different communities co-habit together is not an easy task.
While many civil society organisations have been undertaking a sustained campaign for enactment of a Constitutional safeguard to protect the indigenous peoples of the land, some sections of people rejected the Bills drafted for protection of indigenous peoples.
The State is now witnessing a critical situation as successive Governments in the past failed to resolve many small issues on time, Ranjit rued.
He also condemned the objections raised by some section of people when the Chief Minister went to Ukhrul today to inaugurate Ukhrul district hospital and power sub-stations.
NSCN-IM would be having many grudges against Congress party because the successive Congress Governments have been opposing many of their demands.
They are now investing all their resources to defeat Congress party in the forthcoming State Assembly election.
As such, people need to be wary about such diabolic design of NSCN-IM, Ranjit said.
MLA O Landhoni stated that the Congress Government has undertaken a number of development programmes across the State including Wangkhem Assembly segment too.
