Imphal, November 08 2026: Former MLA of Sagolband AC, Dr Khwairakpam Loken, said the BJP Government has failed to protect the lives and property of the people, and a Government that thinks for the State and the people is needed.

He was speaking at a one-day discussion programme on "Empowerment of Women in Politics" organised by Sagolband Block Mahila Congress Committee at Sega Road, Takhellambam Leikai, today.

Extending Ningol Chakkouba greetings, Dr Loken wished that the festival may strengthen love and unity among communities.

Dr Loken said at a time when the public is suffering, the Government is trying to mislead the people and is spreading many falsehoods.

He said the present BJP Government's term ends on March 13, 2027.He alleged that the Government is trying to prolong its rule and blame the Congress, while the Congress is taking all possible steps to bring a peaceful situation.

He said Congress leaders have also met the Chief Minister and the Governor and submitted memorandums to resolve the present issues.

He said the people know the truth behind BJP's blame on Congress.

He questioned whether the Congress was responsible for the disappearance of Kamalbabu from Leimakhong Army Camp and the Jiribam killings.

He said the Congress had signed the SoO agreement, but asked why the BJP Government is not abrogating the SoO if it is against the people.

Blaming Congress for the loss of so many lives is very unfortunate, he said.

He further alleged that those in power are now fighting among themselves.

He said the fact that people cannot travel freely on National Highways even today, and the recent ambush on the Ukhrul road, show the Government's lack of sincerity.
