Imphal, July 01 2023:
BJP Manipur Pradesh vice president and Manipur Pol lution Control Board chairman MLA Usham Deben has said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited the state to take stock of the prevailing situation but his visit brought no benefit to the people of Manipur.
Addressing media persons at party's Thambal Shanglen on Saturday, Deben said tne state government arranged a chopper at Imphal airport to facilitate Rahul visit Churachandpur and Moirang as well as adequate number of vehicles for the visit.
However, the Congress leader decided to go Churachandpur via road after consulting with Congress MLAs of the state without informing anything to the government, alleged MLA Deben and asked if Rahul Gand -hi's visit gave any benefit to the people of Manipur.
Asking as to why Congress MLAs are sidelining gravity of the prevailing tense situation in the state, he pointed out that there was an incident of bomb blast along Uddim road recently and no Meetei MLA enter Churachandpur since the violence broke out on May 3 .
Despite the
tense situation prevailing in the state more particularly in the area intersecting Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts, Congress party went ahead with Rahul Gandhi's Churachandpur visit by road intentionally to disturb law and order, Deben alleged adding that Rahul Gandhi's visit was nothing less than election campaign.
Why Rahul Gandhi did not meet chief minister if his visit was for bringing peace in the state, posed Deben while maintaining that cheap political outlook must be shed aside at this crucial juncture and focus more on saving Manipur at present.
