Imphal, April 18 2009: CPI will get not more than three seats in the current Parliamentary election, said BJP today while urging the people to vote in favour for the party candidate, former chief minister, W Nipamacha so that the party can push up issues and problems of the state to the floor of the Parliament.

Speaking at an election campaign meeting of the BJP today at Langthabal Bazar Community Hall, former MLA and member of the executive council, BJP Meinam Bhorot said, in the election to the 543 member Lok Sabha, CPI will get two or three seats.

So sending CPI nominee from the state will gain nothing.

He also said that the popularity of the party, CPI is decreasing day by day since the role that had taken by the party in the controversial nuclear deal issue that rocked the House of the Parliament.

BJP will get 180 to 160 seats in these elections, he said urging the people to support the W Nipamacha so that the state could get a meaningful place in the floor of the Parliament.

Turning toward the MPP, he said that the party is a party which has no shadow except in some part of the state.

The party is not known to the people beyond Sekmaijin on the south and Kanglatombi on the north.

He also recounted and said when MPP's Yumnam Yaima represented the state as MP in the Lok Sabha, the matter of inclusion of the Manipuri language in the eighth schedule push up by him was not taken seriously but when with the effort of the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate LK Advani, the same was introduced to the Parliament and included in the schedule, he added.

He also said that if Nipamacha be elected, he will get a minister as BJP is sure to form a new government at the Centre.
