As a part of the programme, the attendees observed two-minute silence in honour of the departed souls ever since the outbreak of Manipur crisis on May 3, 2023 .

Addressing the gathering, CLP leader K Meghachandra alleged that 'the Manipur crisis resulted from internal conflicts within the BJP' .

Therefore BJP is unable to resolve the ongoing crisis which has been plaguing the State for more than three years causing immense pain and suffering to the people, he said.

He further alleged that elected BJP leaders had failed miserably in discharging their duties leading to the overall deterioration of the State in all aspects.

He maintained that the Central and State Government have failed in fulfilling the assurance to provide employment to the youths.

'Instead of being employed to sustain themselves, the youths of the State have been compelled to take up arms to protect the integrity of Manipur', he stated.

Expressing discontentment over the failure of the incumbent Government to safeguard its people and facilitate peace and harmony, Meghachandra asserted that it is high time that the Government is held accountable for its failures.

He expressed that peace and normalcy will be restored in Manipur when Congress comes to power and urged all to support and elect Congress candidates in the upcoming election for a better Manipur.

The intending candidate Dr Mohd Riyajuddin Khan while speaking at the programme said that he left his job to serve the people of Lilong AC and strive towards a progressive Lilong by focusing on developmental activities.

Expressing concern over the false propaganda being circulated against him, he said that he had issued promising cards instead of election manifestos to reaffirm his commitment by visiting every household.

The intending candidate also pledged to work sincerely for its people and overall development of Lilong AC .
