He also called on the people to chose the right candidate before casting their votes to the November 21 bye-elections at Thongju and Thangmeiband constituencies.
Speaking at the campaign, Chief Minister O Ibobi said that developmental activities need to be taken up at Thongju A/C.Education Minister Moirangthem Okendro said that many leaders of BJP had warned Congress to teach a lesson.
