Imphal, April 06 2024:
Saying that candidates of parties in power always won the Lok Sabha elections in Manipur, BJP candidate in Inner Manipur PC Th Basantakumar has exuded confidence that he would emerge victorious in the 18th Lok Sabha election.
Speaking at the foundation day of BJP at ex-MLA MLA Nahakpam Indrajit's residence at Thambalkhong Sabal Leikai today, Th Basantakumar said that his first priority would be restoration of peace in the strife-torn State and return of displaced people to their original places.
He also highlighted a number of welfare programmes taken up by the Modi Government during the last 10 years.
Stating that BJP would retain power with a landslide victory and Narendra Modi will remain the country's Prime Minister for the third consecutive term, the BJP candidate claimed that BJP would secure more than 370 seats out of the total 543 Lok Sabha seats.
Saying that the BJP Government led by N Biren is committed to protect indigenous people and safeguard the integrity of Manipur, Basantakumar said that he would focus on neutralising the forces scheming to disintegrate Manipur.
He said that the Centre extended the Inner Line Permit System to Manipur so as to protect the indigenous people.
Apart from deciding to scrap the FMR from the Indo-Myanmar border, the BJP Government initiated Indo-Myanmar fencing work on war footing, he said.
He said that only the parties in power can resolve the current Manipur crisis.
"If I'm elected, I will do everything to see that houses burnt down during the violence are reconstructed and NRC is implemented in the State at the earliest", Basantakumar said.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) firmly believes in the principle 'Nation first, party second and self third', he said.
He appealed to all BJP workers to canvass for the party by calling through telephones to relatives and friends.
Ex-MLA Nahakpam Indrajit (Kshetrigao AC) too spoke on the occasion.
