Imphal, September 12 2026: Society can progress towards prosperity if politicians and bureaucrats work understanding the wishes and aspirations of the people, said Langthabal AC MLA Karam Shyam.

He was speaking at the 150th Birth Anniversary observance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel organised by Relief Centre for the Welfare of Differently Abled Persons, Manipur under sponsorship of the Ministry of Culture at JN Manipur Dance Academy auditorium on the theme "Unity is Strength" .

A painting competition for students and staging of Nat Sankirtana were held as part of the function.

Continuing, Karam Shyam said it is not true that politicians do not listen to the voice of the people, adding that political leaders should strive to understand the wishes and aspirations of the people and work for their welfare.

In a State like Manipur where different communities live together, there is a need to live with love and mutual understanding, he said.

Discouraging a person when he is doing good work is not the right step, he added.

Speaking on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, he said Patel was a leader with distinct qualities among the leaders of the country and his role in building a united India will always be remembered.

The function was attended by organising chairman of 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Dr Brogen Singh Akoijam, Joint Secretary, Tribal Affairs & Hills Department, Government of Manipur Ngangom Uttam and Director, CRC Imphal Naosekpam Khoibi Singh as president and guests of honour.
